A Declaration of Peace

Every life represents a universe - the saying goes, "When an elder dies, a library burns to the ground," but all people have collected a library full of experiences, wisdom and hard lessons learned. When hundreds or thousands die, the loss is enormous.

In this timely yet timeless book, the author of Refuse to be Afraid takes on the myths of the military industrial complex and calls for an end to war, the ultimate crime against humanity.

"Life, this precious fragile gift, should never be ended deliberately and violently, and how dare anyone inflict violent death on others and subject their loved ones to this deep grief?" he asks. "I truly believe I am not alone in these thoughts and that perhaps this book might encourage anyone who might be filled with despair that constant war is inevitable. People want peace, so we ought to be working together toward that goal."

A Declaration of Peace is the latest in a series of books collecting posts from the warrenbluhm.com blog, also including A Bridge at Crossroads and Echoes of Freedom Past.
