This volume provides a unique view of the movement for peace
during the First World War, with authors from across Europe
and the United States, each providing a distinctive cultural
analysis of peace movements during the Great War. As Europe began
its descent into the madness that became the First World
War, people in every nation worked to maintain peace. Once
the armies began to march across borders, activists and
politicians alike worked to bring an end to the hostilities.
This volume explores what peace meant to the different
people, societies, nationalities, and governments involved in the
First World War. It offers a wide variety of observations,
including Italian socialists and their fight for peace,
women in Britain pushing for peace, and French soldiers refusing
to fight in an effort to bring about peace.
