American religious pacifism is usually explained in terms of its practitioners' ethical and philosophical commitments. Patricia Appelbaum argues that Protestant pacifism, which constituted the religious center of the large-scale peace movement in the United States after World War I, is best understood as a culture that developed dynamically in the broader context of American religious, historical, and social currents. Exploring piety, practice, and material religion, Appelbaum describes a surprisingly complex culture of Protestant pacifism expressed through social networks, iconography, vernacular theology, individual spiritual practice, storytelling, identity rituals, and cooperative living. Between World War I and the Vietnam War, she contends, a paradigm shift took place in the Protestant pacifist movement. Pacifism moved from a mainstream position to a sectarian and marginal one, from an embrace of modernity to skepticism about it, and from a Christian center to a purely pacifist one, with an informal, flexible theology. The book begins and ends with biographical profiles of two very different pacifists, Harold Gray and Marjorie Swann. Their stories distill the changing religious culture of American pacifism revealed in Kingdom to Commune.

This book is an in-depth study of how heroes of peace use compassion inthe face of adversity. It is the research of how special heroes successfullyaddress hatred with peace, how their calmness softens the chaos surround-ing them, and why they always maintain the dignity of their adversariesthroughout their enemies' defeat and recovery. Heroes of peace typicallyreact to a crisis with positive and compassionate characteristics-that isone of their credentials.This book is rich in heroic stories based on little-known sources ofinformation discovered through my research. For example, an inspirationalletter sent from a combat pilot to his mother after a fearsome air battle inWWII, incarcerated freedom fighters secretly confronting brutal dictatorsfrom their prison cells, and a child-who launched from his elementaryschool classroom-a compassionate humanitarian campaign that savedthousands of lives. I obtained more unknown information from personalinterviews with many heroes of peace, from a heroic survivor of a lib-eration army in Nicaragua, from a prior child soldier in Cameroon, andfrom a revolutionary who fought the suppressive Apartheid governmentin South Africa. These incredible quests are true, often appearing surre-al, and interlace this book with unbelievable ventures rarely found in anymedia other than from the personal exploits of the heroes themselves. Theinspiring values these heroes employed to succeed in their noble pursuitsare most remarkable.I researched, discovered, and taught these heroic values in collegecourses for over a decade, and my students and I studied extensively theinspiring values used by magnificent people to guide their critical deci-sions. We did not study these same heroes when they were not performingat their best. This book is not a study of perfect heroes of peace-there are none. This book is a study of the values and thought processes of(a) magnificent world heroes of peace (b) when they were performing attheir best-what wonderful and proven examples of outstanding humanconduct to study.I was interested in HOW heroes of peace achieved their remarkabledeeds instead of what they accomplished.

Arkansas native Douglas C. Jones (1924-1998) ranks right up there with Larry McMurtry, A.B. Guthrie, and Ron Hansen. Author of nineteen historical Westerns, including The Court-Martial of George Armstrong Custer, which was made into a Hallmark Hall of Fame movie, Arrest Sitting Bull, and Elkhorn Tavern, Jones was a three-time recipient of the Golden Spur Award, and in 1993, he received the Owen Wister Award for Lifetime Contribution and Achievement from the Western Writers of America. His final novel, Sometimes there Were Heroes, originally published in 2000 and now in paperback, is the riveting tale of the brave and driven men and women of early Texas, told against the color backdrop of Bexar, the tiny Spanish mission that would later become San Antonio. As witnessed through the unforgettable characters of the "Mexican Gringo" Paco Salazar, a German immigrant named Sophie, and the young Oscar Schiller, this history is made rich with intrigue, danger, murder and love as disparate cultures clash and bond on the American frontier. Tonkawa Indians and Bavarian settlers, Mexicans and Texicans, Comanches and Angelos all mingle memorably in this riveting drama. Here are Sam Houston and Santa Ana, the Alamo, the founding of the Republic of Texas, the Texas Rangers, the forty-Niner Gold Rush, and the Civil War, all seamlessly woven into a suspenseful and colorful tale. The author's own pencil and charcoal drawings further enliven the novel. From prologue to epilogue, this is a suspenseful book that will be hard to put aside until it is finished.

In any war, there are always those who, rather than picking up an AK-47, will take the difficult route of active peacemaking. There are individuals in the middle of violence in Afghanistan, Northern Ireland, even in the Congo, who risk their lives to prevent others from being killed. This book tells their stories. Featuring sixteen personal testimonies by those who have summoned the courage to transform violence in their lives, Unarmed Heroes is an inspiration as well as a handbook for overcoming conflict. The contributors, drawn from around the globe, include relatives of those who died in the World Trade Center attack and the Oklahoma bombing; Israeli, Palestinian, and Afghan peace activists; a former IRA bomber and the daughter of one of his victims; a British military commander turned anti-nuclear campaigner; and many others. Despite their diverse backgrounds, each shares a passion for working actively and peacefully for positive change. Such stories might leave us in awe, doubting our own ability to emulate such bravery, but this book features an accessible do-it-yourself section that shows, step by step, how you can take constructive steps to change your own life and learn the skills that resolve conflict. Also included is a comprehensive resources section. Unarmed Heroes is essential reading--an invaluable tool for growing the global movement of people determined to challenge violent responses to international, regional, local, and family conflicts.
