The lives of these diverse anti-war advocates--a principled and passionate seminary student, a Catholic anarchist, a high-brow intellectual leftist, and an African-American pacifist and agitator--create the perfect prism through which to see World War II from a new angle, that of the opposition, as well as to show how great and lasting their achievements were. The resisters did not stop the war, of course, but their impact would be felt for decades. Many of them went on to lead the civil-rights and anti-Vietnam War movements, the two most important social stands of the second half of the twentieth century. The various World War II resisters pioneered non-violent protest in America, popularized Gandhian principles, and desegregated the first prison mess halls. Theirs is a story that has never been told."-- $b Provided by publisher 650 0 $a Pacifists. 650 0 $a Passive resistance $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Protest movements. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 20th century. 941 $a 8 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010032005.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20230708011456.0 952 $l VXPE964 $d 20230627010836.0 952 $l KJPF566 $d 20230317010609.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20230207011424.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20230203010253.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20230202010259.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20221220011534.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=16ADB3EE803411ED944134D030ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b BUPInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
