2/15: The Day the World Said No to War by Arun Gandhi
2/15: The Day the World Said No to War

GothikHippie, September 24, 2006

I had to use this book for a class at my university and at first I did not know what to think of it- what was it? -a picture book?

As I started studying the pictures I realised this was more than a book- this was a representation of a movement and an inspiration for the people on the outside who were eager to find ways to make similar statements. It, like footage from Woodstock, was a starting point for people to follow after. The images are powerful, the quotations are amazing- especially when you start to realise who said the words on the page.

Peace be with you-
