Czech Renascence of the Nineteenth Century
Pacifism in Europe to 1914
In a companion volume to Pacifism in the United States , Peter Brock surveys the history of the pacifist movement in Europe from the beginning of the Christian era to the First World War. His detailed narrative is directed to the activities—and the beliefs that motivated them—of these sects in particular: the Czech Brethren of the late Middle Ages; the radical Anabaptists of the Protestant Reformation; their less militant offshoot, the Mennonites…
Life in an Austro-Hungarian Military Prison: The Slovak Tolstoyan Dr. Albert Škarvan's Story
These Strange Criminals: An Anthology of Prison Memoirs by Conscientious Objectors from the Great War to the Cold War
Sometimes intensely moving, and often inspiring, these memoirs show that in some cases, individual conscientious objectors - many well-educated and politically aware - sought to reform the penal system from within either by publicizing its dysfunction or through further resistance to authority

Six Weeks at Hawkspur Green: A Pacifist Episode during the Battle of Britain
In early summer 1940 a small group of pacifist undergraduates from the universities of Oxford and Cambridge had formed a Universities Ambulance Unit. They started training for medical work in June as the Battle of Britain got under way; their training camp, situated at Hawkspur Green near London, lasted for about six weeks. The intellectual caliber of the group was indeed extremely high, though this did not entail necessarily medical efficiency! …
Adela and Albert: A Tolstoyan Love Story
Albert Škarvan (1869–1926) is regarded today as a figure of some importance in Slovak literature. Though he played no part in political life, he was an enthusiastic cultural nationalist and an advocate of the use of the Slovak vernacular for literature. His Memoirs of an Army Doctor (1920), republished in 1992, reveal the mindset of a Tolstoyan antimilitarist. They also present a unique picture of conditions prevailing in military prisons of the …
Challenge to Mars: Essays on Pacifism from 1918 to 1945
Emerging in 1918 from the devastation of World War I, the modern pacifist movement expanded rapidly and soon became organized on a transnational basis. These essays present aspects of the movement's development to the end of the Second World War. The fourteen essays in Part I look at the interwar years, which gave rise to an array of pacifist organizations, both religious and humanist, throughout Europe and North America. Twelve essays in Part II…
Confinement of Conscientious Objectors as Psychiatric Patients in World War I Germany
This article deals with a subject hitherto almost totally ignored in historical literature: the fate of those German conscientious objectors (COs), both religious and political, who were confined as psychiatric patients during World War I. Reports by psychiatrists examining these men, which were printed in medical journals during the war years, form the chief source on which the author bases his article. Some of these psychiatrists regarded their…
The Birth of the Antibomb Campaign
This study originated in the author's concern, first aroused over three decades ago during his college years, as to the consequences of the atomic arms race for the fate of mankind. Among his previous works in the area of peace history is a valuable monograph on the American peace movement from the 1930s to the 1980s (Rebels against War: The American Peace Movement, 1933-1983, 1984). The present book, however, is much wider in scope, since Wittne…
Why Did St Maximilian Refuse to Serve in the Roman Army
On 23 January 295 a young recruit named Maximilian, a Christian by religion and twenty-one years old, appeared in court before Dion, proconsul of Africa, in the town of Theveste in Numidia. He was accused of refusing a summons to serve in the Roman army. Maximilian was accompanied to court by his father, Fabius Victor, described in the record as a temonarius , i.e. ‘an agent who collected the temo , or tax levied for the outfitting of military re…
Dilemmas of a Socinian Pacifist in Seventeenth-Century Poland
The antitrinitarian Polish Brethren, from the inception of their denomination as a breakaway from the Calvinist Reformed Church in 1565, had earnestly debated the issue of whether a "true Christian" might collaborate in the workof the sword-bearing magistracy, take part in war, or kill a fellow human being in self-defense. Whereas the brotherhood in the militarily exposed Grand Duchy of Lithuania, with a few exceptions, gave a positive answer, th…

The Peace Testimony of the Early Plymouth Brethren
Among the many fruits of the evangelical piety within British Protestantism was the movement of renewal which crystallized around the end of the 1820s into the sect usually known as the Plymouth Brethren (or Christian Brethren as they now prefer). Brethren have "remained fairly small numerically... but [with] a theological influence much larger than [their] membership would indicate." It is hard to say exactly when the group first appeared; its p…

The Politics of the Polish Peasant
The Polish Peasant Party celebrated its sixtieth anniversary last year. Founded in July 1895 in the provincial town of Lwow, its influence was at first confined to the parts of Poland then under Austrian rule. From modest beginnings, however, it eventually came to play a vital role in Polish politics. The important part taken by the peasant in Polish cultural life over the last half century has been largely the achievement of the political peasan…

The idea and practice of democracy antedates the Industrial Revolution. It has usually flourished, however, in an urban setting, and it was industrialization that was mainly responsible for its vast upsurge over the last century and a half. Its extension, too, into the field of social reform has been one of the accompaniments of the rise of an urban proletariat
