ANTHOLOGIES

Solutions to Violence
Colman McCarthy, ed.,. 232 pages.

With 16 chapters and 77 essays, this anthology of peace writings ranges from the well known-Gandhi, Tolstoy, Thomas Merton and Joan Baez-to the obscure. From the introduction: "To read these essays, and then to absorb them intellectually and then act on them, is to understand that nonviolence is as much about getting the bombs out of our hearts as it is about getting them out of the global arsenal. The effort to develop a philosophy of nonviolent force demands strength from the intellect, patience from the heart and faith from the soul."
