"The Oxford Handbook of Peace History uniquely explores the distinctive dynamics of peacemaking across time and place, and analyzing how past and present societies have created diverse cultures of peace and applied strategies for peaceful change. The analysis draws upon the expertise of many well-respected and distinguished scholars from disciplines such as anthropology, economics, history, international relations, journalism, peace studies, sociology, and theology. This work is divided into six parts. The first three sections address the chronological sweep of peace history from the Ancient Egyptians to the present while the last three cover biographical profiles of peace advocates, key issues in peace history, and the future of peace history. A central theme throughout is that the quest for peace is far more than the absence of war or the pursuit of social justice ideals. Students and scholars, alike, will appreciate that this work examines the field of peace history from an international perspective and expands analysis beyond traditional Eurocentric frameworks. This volume also goes far beyond previously published handbooks and anthologies in answering what are the strengths and limits of peace history as a discipline, and what can it offer for the future. It also has the unique features of a state-of-the-field introduction with a detailed treatment of peace history historiography and a chapter written by a noted archivist in the field that provides a comprehensive list of peace research resources. It is a work ably suited applicable for classrooms and scholarly bookshelves"--

Excerpt from A Solemn Review of the Custom of War In any stage of their progress unfortunate disputes might arise by the imprudence, the avarice or the ambition of individuals. N ow, at what period would it be proper to introduce the custom of deciding controversies by the edge of the sword or an appeal to arms? Might this be done when the families had increased to ten? Who would not be shocked at the madness of introducing such a custom under such circumstances? Might it, then, with more propriety be done when the families had multiplied to fifty or to a hundred or a thousand or ten thousand? The greater the number the greater the danger, the carnage and calamity. Besides, what reason can be given why this mode of deciding controversies would not be as proper when there were but ten families as when there were ten thousand? And why might not two individuals thus decide disputes as well as two nations? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
