At the heart of the deeply moving work, is the simple idea that the path to a world of peace is through our value structures. To Hartman, peace is not the absence of war, but rather a mindset and a way of being. This collection fosters the cultivation of that worldview.--Katrina S.

Through his careful selection and insightful discussion of Robert S. Hartman's work, Clifford Hurst delivers a powerful and convincing call to peace. Hurst spotlights fundamental issues raised by Hartman, including the dangers of state sovereignty; the urgent need for a science of peace; and the ever-present threat of nuclear catastrophe. Hurst argues that, whilst Hartman's warnings were written in the context of WWII and the Cold War, they are more important now than ever. The message is: we must act now before it is too late. This is an important interdisciplinary work for students, scholars, and policy-makers alike.--Marie Paxton Staniforth, PhD, Assistant Professor of Political Science, Westminster College
