Essays, portraits, and profiles of fifty American peace activists
This third volume in the Americans Who Tell the Truth series features Robert Shetterly's striking color portraits and profiles of fifty peace activists as well as essays by Chris Hedges, Kali Rubaii, Paul K. Chappell, Medea Benjamin, Alice Rothchild, and David Swanson. The people honored in this book approach peacemaking in manifold ways. They have told the truth about the lies enabling war, they have protested, they have gone to jail for peace, made art imbued with the suffering of war, the stupidity of war and its cruelty, taught the curricula of peace, exposed the unspeakable wounds and trauma visited on children in war, and shown how environmentally historically, and psychologically wars never end. They have also shown how warmongers promote and profit obscenely from the business of industrial killing, how atrocity is celebrated as heroic. They resist, resist, resist. They act with love.

Industry Reviews

"Portraits of Peacemakers is a gift to educators. At a time when the virus of cynicism threatens to infect young people everywhere, Robert Shetterly has assembled this warm and wise community of truthtellers. Students--and all the rest of us--cannot help but be inspired by Shetterly's astute biographies of peacemakers, his loving portraits, and the essays from courageous activists for a better world. I hope this volume finds a home in every classroom, every school library."--Bill Bigelow, Curriculum Editor, Rethinking Schools; Codirector, Zinn Education Project
