Endorsements: "The reissue of Camus' seminal essay, 'Neither
Victims nor Executioners, ' could hardly be more timely. In Iraq
and Afghanistan, the hideous march to oblivion goes on apace.
America is ironically reversing the ethic proposed by Camus' title.
American adventuring, playing the part of omnipotent executioner,
is creating multitudes of victims. No search is undertaken for a
'third way.' Indeed, were the Camus thesis proposed, it would evoke
only wide-eyed innocent arrogance. Kennedy and Klotz-Chamberlin
have dedicated a lifetime to the 'third way' commended by Camus.
Our gratitude to our mentors for a prescient, timely introduction."
--Fr. Daniel Berrigan, SJ "Pacifists are not looking for a Utopian
outlook nor unrealistic expectations. Many said, 'South Africa will
not change.' But it did. Others looked at Northern Ireland and, it
took years, but it also changed. The Soviet Union changed. The
Middle East will change but not through violence or murder. We
still think of ourselves within borders, protecting ourselves from
others, Europe took its borders away and they are better. South,
Central, and North America should take away their borders, as well
as people in the Middle East. . . . We should build a culture of
nonviolence through an understanding of human rights without regard
to race, religion, and nationality." --Mubarak Awad, founder of
Nonviolence International "If we spontaneously approve of nuclear
terrorism, if we become apologists for the uninhibited use of naked
power, we are thinking like Communists, we are behaving like Nazis,
and we are well on the way to becoming either one or the other. In
that event we had better face the fact that we are destroying our
own Christian heritage." --Thomas Merton Author Biography: Albert
Camus (November 7, 1913 - January 4, 1960) was a French author and
philosopher and one of the principal luminaries (with Jean-Paul
Sartre) of existentialism. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for
Literature in 1957.
