Peace: A History of Movement and Ideas​ by David Cortright (Book Review) (original) (raw)

David Cortright's "Peace: A History of Movements and Ideas" explores the evolution of peace advocacy through historical movements, from early peace initiatives to modern anti-war campaigns. The book is structured into two parts: Movements and Themes, providing a chronological view while provoking thought about the complexity of peace in relation to governance and militarization. Despite its strengths, the review highlights areas needing clearer definitions and deeper analysis of concepts like 'internationalism' and moral implications of militarization.
