Rövid leírás:
Building on his previous authoritative work on the British peace movement, Ceadel has produced a definitive historical analysis of its era of maturity - from the Crimean War to the Second World War. His book includes a discussion of the previously neglected late nineteenth century, an account of the movement's most influential period, the late 1920s and early 1930s, and an analysis of opposition to both world wars. Based on primary as well as secondary sources, it locates its subject both in the context of British domestic politics and in the idealist tradition of thinking about international relations.

Britain's semi-detached geographical position has helped to give it the world's strongest peace movement. Secure enough from invasions to be influenced by an idealistic approach to international relations (unlike most of Europe), yet too close to the continent for isolationism to be an option (as it was in the United States), the country has provided favourable conditions for those aspiring not merely to prevent war but to abolish it.
The period from the Crimean War to the Second World War marked the British peace movement's age of maturity. In 1854, it was obliged for the first time to contest a decision - and moreover a highly popular one - to enter war. It survived the resulting adversity, and gradually rebuilt its position as an accepted voice in public life, though by the end of the nineteenth century its leading associations such as the Peace Society were losing vitality as they gained respectability. Stimulated by the First World War into radicalizing and reconstructing itself through the formation of such associations as the Union of Democratic Control, the No-Conscription Fellowship, and the Fellowship of Reconciliation, the movement endured another period of unpopularity before enjoying unprecedented influence during the inter-war years, the era of the League of Nations Union, the Oxford Union's 'King and country' debate, the Peace Ballot, and the Peace Pledge Union. Finally, however, Hitler discredited much of the agenda it had been promoting the previous century or more.
This book is the first comprehensive and authoritative study of this subject. It covers all significant peace associations and campaigns and is based on an extensive use of archival as well as printed sources. Its subject matter is of relevance both to historians of nineteenth and twentieth-century British politics and to specialists in international relations interested in the anti-realist tradition.
[Ceadel] is the foremost historian of the peace movement in Britain today. The breadth of his scholarship is a joy; the bibliography is a remarkable resource. Anywone with an interest in the roots of the peace movement would be impressed by his research, especially into the 19th century Peace Society ... This is an invaluable reference book ... It is an outstanding work and one for which Ceadel should be commended.
