The First World War was an epic event of huge proportions that
lasted over four years and involved the armies of more than twenty
nations, resulting in 30 million casualties, including more than 8
million killed. Set against the backdrop of this massive carnage,
The Search for Negotiated Peace is the gripping story of the events
that moved high profile American and European citizens,
particularly women, into the international peace movement. This
small, transatlantic network put forth proposals for changing the
international system of negotiation. They supported
non-annexationist war aims and attempted to discredit nations???
secret diplomacy, militarism and narrowly nationalistic practices.
Instead, they wanted to develop a ???new diplomacy.???
David Patterson skillfully develops the interactions of many of
the notable leaders of the movement, including Jane Addams, Aletta
Jacobs, and Rosika Schwimmer, into an absorbing narrative that
brings together the various strands of women's history,
international diplomatic history, and peace history for the first
time. The Search for Negotiated Peace is an essential read for
anyone interested in the social history of World War I and the
foundations of citizen activism today.
