Description
Peace and Bread in Time of War is a book written by Jane Addams, a social reformer and activist, in 1922. The book is a collection of essays that Addams wrote during World War I, in which she criticized the war and called for peace. Addams argues that war is not only destructive but also counterproductive, as it leads to more violence and suffering.The book is divided into three parts. The first part focuses on the impact of war on society, particularly on women and children. Addams highlights the suffering of civilians and the need for humanitarian aid. She also criticizes the propaganda used by governments to justify war and the suppression of dissent.The second part of the book deals with the role of the United States in the war. Addams argues that the US should not have entered the war and that its involvement was driven by economic interests rather than moral principles. She also criticizes the US government's treatment of conscientious objectors and immigrants.The final part of the book is dedicated to the search for peace. Addams argues that peace can only be achieved through international cooperation and disarmament. She calls for the establishment of an international court of justice and the creation of a League of Nations.Overall, Peace and Bread in Time of War is a passionate plea for peace and social justice. Addams' writing is both insightful and moving, and her ideas continue to be relevant today. The book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of social activism and the quest for peace.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
