Peace Action
Past, Present and Future
Peace Action: Past, Present and Future is a collection of short, informative essays written by prominent leaders and supporters of Peace Action (America’s largest peace organization) and its two important predecessors – the National Committee for a Sane Nuclear Policy and the Nuclear Weapons Freeze Campaign. Surveying a half-century of the work of three of the largest and most influential peace organizations in American history, this book provides a unique resource for understanding popular protest against nuclear weapons and war in the modern era.
In celebration of its 50th anniversary, Glen Harold Stassen and Lawrence S. Wittner have edited Peace Action . . . – a collection of essays written by many of the courageous men and women who led the group. . . . Peace Action is in this fight for the long haul, and we are a better Nation and nation for it."
