Facing war, Stafford chose peace. He challenged deeply held beliefs: Why do we believe war is inevitable? Can you win a war? Stafford was confined to civilian service camps during the war, and in the camps he began a lifetime of writing as a witness to alternative ways to reconcile human conflicts. For all those who think 'peacemaking' is naive or wishful, Stafford offers powerful arguments that the most pragmatic thing we can do - and how to do it - is to seek alternatives to war.
