Description
"In "The Ghost of Yankee Doodle" Sidney Howard grapples with the problem of war and peace, demonstrates the impotence of sober liberalism as pitted against drunken jingoism, but ends with a faint note of hope for the forces of temperance and sanity, a note which is scarcely justified by what has gone before. A great newspaper owner, a frank caterer to mob passions, is the chief antagonist; while two brothers, a manufacturer and a one-paper journalist,...

To Hutterites and members of other pacifist sects, serving the military in any way goes against the biblical commandment "thou shalt not kill" and Jesus{u2019}s admonition to turn the other cheek when confronted with violence. Pacifists in Chains tells the story of four young men{u2014}Joseph Hofer, Michael Hofer, David Hofer, and Jacob Wipf{u2014}who followed these beliefs and refused to perform military service in World War I. The men paid a steep...

For more than 300 years, Mennonites adhered to a strict two-kingdom theology, owing their supreme allegiance to the divine kingdom while serving as loyal, law-abiding subjects of the state in all matters that did not contradict their religious beliefs.

In times of war, the Mennonite church counseled conscientious objection and spoke against military participation in either combatant...

"In this compelling collection of oral histories, more than seventy-five peacemakers describe how they say no to war-making in the strongest way possible--by engaging in civil disobedience and paying the consequences in jail or prison.

Many are Catholic Workers, devoting their lives to the works of mercy instead...
