The history of the peace movement in the United States was one of
dramatic change: in the mid-IKWs it consisted of a few provincial
societies; by 1912 it had become eminently respectable and listed
among its members an impressive number of the nation's leaders; by
1918 it was once again weak and remote from those who formulated
national policy. Along with these fluctuations went equally
substantial changes of leadership and purpose that, as C. Roland
Marchand emphasizes, reflected the motives of the various reform
groups that successively joined and dominated the movement. Most of
those who joined were not devoted solely to the cause of world
peace, but saw in the programs of the movement a chance for the
fulfillment of their own mare immediately relevant goals.
Consequently the story of the peace movement reflects the concerns
of such groups as the international lawyers who wanted a world
court of arbitration as an alternative to war, the business leaders
who believed that international economic stability would be
endangered by war, and the labor unions who felt that the working
class suffered most in war. Originally published in 1973. The
Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology
to again make available previously out-of-print books from the
distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These
editions preserve the original texts of these important books while
presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The
goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access
to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books
published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
