Between War and Peace

"Between War and Peace" is a comprehensive survey and handbook dedicated to the burgeoning international peace movement of the early 20th century. Written by Florence Brewer Boeckel, a prominent activist and educator, this work explores the social, economic, and educational foundations necessary to transition society away from the cycle of global conflict. The book serves as a vital historical record of the methods and philosophies employed by those who sought to build a more stable world order in the interwar period.

Boeckel meticulously outlines the roles of various institutions-including schools, churches, and civic organizations-in fostering a spirit of international cooperation. She examines the impact of commerce, labor, and women's movements on the prospects for lasting peace, while also addressing the complexities of disarmament and the development of international law. By providing practical suggestions for study and collective action, "Between War and Peace" offers a fascinating glimpse into the intellectual framework of early pacifist movements. It remains an essential resource for readers interested in the history of diplomacy, the evolution of social justice, and the perennial quest for global harmony.
