The Problems of Perfectionist Pacifism
نویسندگان
چکیده
Thomas Curran has created an intriguing exploration of an overlooked group of antiwar Americans in the second half of the nineteenth century. Growing out of his dissertation at Notre Dame, this monograph examines the beliefs and activities of a group Curran describes as “perfectionist pacifists” during the Civil War and after, following it into the early twentieth century. The book is effectively divided into two parts, the first examining the group’s formation in opposition to the Civil War, and the second detailing the postwar creation and actions of the Universal Peace Union (UPU), an organization dedicated to the principles of perfectionist pacifism.
