Synopsis
"In the Name of Peace discusses the pacifist leaders, famous and less well-known, whose adherence to non-violence, even in the face of brutal opposition, has changed the course of history. Pacifist leaders and their philosophies have affected societies, shaped the outcomes of conflict and enriched civilisation. At the same time, pacifist action has brought about cultural ruin and prolonged conflict, and has left societies vulnerable and stagnating due to passive leadership. This book offers the compelling and dramatic stories of seventeen of these pacifists and shows how those opposed to violence have affected world culture."

Paperback. Erin Ladd Sanders, Murdoch Books. In the Name of Peace discusses the leaders, great and small, whose adherence to nonviolence, even in the face of ruinous opposition, has changed the course of history. Pacifist leaders and their philosophies have affected societies, shaped the outcomes of conflict and enriched civilisation. At the same time, pacifist action has brought about cultural ruin, prolonged conflict, and left societies vulnerable and stagnating due to passive leadership. This book offers the compelling and dramatic stories of eighteen of these leaders (including Mahavira, Jesus, Leo Tolstoy, Jane Addams, Jean Jaures, Mohandas Gandhi and Daw Aung San Suu Kyi) and provides context around how those opposed to violence have affected world culture.
