DJ worn at edges, with some soiling. This work presents the conditions essential to a world without war in a way that creatively challenges those working within the real-world. This work was initially produced by Robert Pickus. From the Preface: This is the sixth edition of a work first published in 1967 as an annotated bibliography. This bibliography was revised and expanded in 1968 Critics pointed out that there was an argument implicit in the bibliography and that the argument, combined with introductions to the ideas, books, and work that could help end war, would make a useful book. Robert Pickus and the current author developed To End War into such a book for the third edition in 1969. A modestly revised fourth editions was published by Harper and Row in 1970. The fifth edition was prepared by Robert Pickus, Timothy Zimmer and others for release in 1975 but was never completed. The introduction to the fifth edition argued that the institutional and attitudinal requirements of modern was are the central realities in world politics today. That introduction has been revised and updated and appears here. While this sixth edition retains much of the original structure, it is, to a significant extent, a new book. World politics has changed significantly, and chapters on the shifting world economic order and the environment have been added to reflect this. Robert Woito worked for the World Without War Council, both in the national office in Berkeley (1964-1973) and in Chicago (1974- 2006), leading the Council's Midwest office (1982-2006). The World Without War Council was a United States organization committed to ending war. In a statement of their goals and principles, the Council wrote, "Conflict is the nature of things; war, as a means of resolving conflict, is not. We will never rid the world of personal and small-group violence, but we can end the organized mass violence of war." ("Clarifying the Council's Work," Box 510). The Council envisioned the United States as an international leader in the work to end war and championed an interventionist strategy. Unlike many peace organizations, the Council rejected solutions that focused only on the reduction of United States military power. They believed that democratic policies were a requisite for peace and that international agreement would be needed to bring about the end of organized violence. The WWWC had regional offices in Berkeley, New York, Chicago, and Seattle. As part of their mission, they assisted volunteer organizations and NGOs with developing their own programs, and created guidelines for other peace groups. The WWWC consulted for a variety of peace, education, labor, and religious organizations, such as the National Council on Philanthropy and the AFL-CIO. The WWWC implemented many programs geared toward creating peace. Robert Pickus (October 31, 1923 - January 22, 2016) was a prominent figure in Quaker, pacifist, and peace movements.] Born in Sioux City, Iowa, he attended the University of Chicago, where he was a research assistant to Mortimer Adler for the Great Books of the Western World program. In 1942, he enlisted in the army, and worked with the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) in England and Sweden. He was co-author of Speak Truth to Power (American Friends Service Committee, 1955); founder of Turn Toward Peace (1961), and World Without War Council (1969); and co-author with Robert Woito of To End War: an Introduction to the Ideas, Books, Organizations, and Work That Can Help (1970). In the mid-1960s Pickus caused controversy by attacking "radical pacifists and leftists" in the anti-Vietnam war movement, whom he accused of being "naively one-sided in their criticism of American foreign policy".
