Dissent from War

"An extremely impressive argument for a version of pacifism grounded in solidarity and citizenship. I know of no comparative text providing such compelling dissent against war.... This could be a classic on its subject."—Douglas Kellner, University of California, Los Angeles

"This is scholarship at its best, citizenship in action, a call of conscience from one of our most persuasive advocates for peace."—Stephen John Hartnett, University of Illinois

"Ivie draws on his long-standing expertise in war rhetoric to explain the pervasive failures of modern-day opponents of war. His insightful analysis is not only provocative, but timely in its application to the current US conflict in Iraq.... [It] has appeal for both scholars and those who wish to practice effective dissent."—Carol Winkler, George State University

"In this broad-ranging and compelling book, Ivie challenges the ways we marginalize both dissent from war and peacemaking efforts in general. Dissent from War not only helps us to see the road not taken, but also offers some useful signs for getting there."—George Cheney, University of Utah
