Peace Lessons

For students, this book is an introduction to the field of Peace Studies.

For scholars, it is a study in how to apply Peace Theory to history, encouraging those who examine the past to identify the significance of integrative power.

Instructors will appreciate the classroom exercises that dramatize the book’s conceptual lessons.

The general reader will gain a new understanding of nonviolence, the underappreciated dynamic that stood up to Nazism in Europe, ended Jim Crow segregation in the United States, and has brought down many repressive dictatorships.

Hopefully, all who read this book will be inspired to find creative, nonviolent ways to respond to violence.

Timothy Braatz is a historian, playwright, novelist, and Peace Studies instructor.
