In a companion volume to Pacifism in the United States, Peter Brock
surveys the history of the pacifist movement in Europe from the
beginning of the Christian era to the First World War. His detailed
narrative is directed to the activities--and the beliefs that
motivated them--of these sects in particular: the Czech Brethren of
the late Middle Ages; the radical Anabaptists of the Protestant
Reformation; their less militant offshoot, the Mennonites; the
Quakers of Cromwell's England; and the Tolstoyans of
nineteenth-century Russia. Mr. Brock concludes his account with a
working definition of normative pacifism, a typology of pacifism,
and a discussion of the factors present in the genesis and decay of
pacifist groups. Originally published in 1972. 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.
