Radical Pacifism: The War Resisters League and Gandhian Nonviolence in America, 1915-1963 (Syracuse Studies on Peace and Conflict Resolution)
by Scott H. Bennett
Synopses & Reviews Book News Annotation: The War Resisters League was founded in 1923 by socialist pacifist
Jessie Wallace Hughan and grew to become one of the most important
secular absolute pacifist organizations opposing war. In his history
of the origins and activities of the League, Bennett (history,
Georgian Court College) argues that the organization managed evolved
from a single-issue concentration on war towards a multi-issue
Ghandian organization advocating for social justice. It further came
to articulate a realistic, radically alternative vision of American
society that served to challenge both mainstream American politics
and the traditional Left.
