Excerpt from Varieties of Pacifism
Catch the sounds of pain in books. You cannot hear the sighing of a boy whose life is ebbing away, and who keeps on saying Mother, Mother, until his heart stops beating. You cannot hear the groan of a man whose legs have been blown Off, or the shriek of a man whose every breath is an agony. You cannot hear the death rattle in a single throat, much less in a thousand throats. These things are not to be found in books. Nor can you get the sights of war in books. You can not see the twitching of a nerve, the spasm of a muscle, the contortion of a body twisted into terrible shapes by a torture that cannot be ex pressed. You cannot see the glazing of eyes in death. Nobody knows what war is who has not been in war. There are millions of men who now.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the history, present-day popularity, and various forms of pacifism. The author begins by defining pacifism as a philosophy and program which places emphasis on moral influence rather than violence, aiming to achieve its goals gently and through reason alone. The book explores varying degrees of pacifism, from those who reject violence in individual action to those who condemn its use against non-Christians, and ultimately to those who refuse to fight in any war. The author concludes by discussing the significance of the non-resistant pacifist movement, the role of international law in preventing war, and the importance of establishing a world court and a union of nations to ensure lasting peace. This book provides valuable insights into the history and practice of pacifism, offering a comprehensive overview of the movement and its significance in the pursuit of world peace.
