"It's time that someone broke into the general gloom created by a
war-loving administration and reminded us that we are a
peace-loving people. Paul Joseph's book does just that, not with
fantasy but with facts, showing how the public antipathy to war,
suppressed too long by propaganda and deception, is coming to the
surface, and offers hope." Howard Zinn "In this antidote to
despair, Joseph shows how even the most sophisticated efforts of US
political and military leaders to maintain public support for war
are flawed and doomed to failure in the face of an increasingly
skeptical public that is unwilling to accept the costs." William A.
Gamson, Boston College "An original and thought-provoking
perspective on one of the most important issues in American
politics today." Michael Klare, Hampshire College Are Americans
becoming more peaceful -- even after the 2004 elections and the
seeming affirmation of the war in Iraq? This book looks at the
meaning of peace in the face of war and offers an optimistic
interpretation of the public's changing views. US citizens are
becoming increasingly uncomfortable with the costs of war that can
be measured not just in dollars but in lives and international
respect. Americans are becoming ever more resistant to government
management of the "facts" surrounding war. In areas ranging from
media and photojournalism to gender and casualties, Joseph exposes
the reality of popular opposition to war.
