Unknown Author

4.9/5 (24407 ratings)

Description:At 82, A. J. Muste stands as this country's foremost radical pacifist, a man whose advice and opinions are sought by many prominent figures often better known than he. His ideas and allegiances cut across all existing political lines. Consequently, he is held in equal esteem by liberals, conservatives, and radicals; by leaders in the civil rights and anti-war movements; by the clergy.For a brief period in the early Thirties, Mr. Muste was one of the outstanding leaders of the Trotskyist section of the Communist movement in the United States, but he resigned in 1936. After spending the summer of that year in Europe, Mr. Muste became convinced of the self-defeating character of violence, whether in international war or in class struggle. He has taken, therefore, a religious-pacifist position, believing that only the dynamics of nonviolence will enable men to abolish war and build a better social order which does not defeat the ends they seek. In recent years, Mr. Muste has devoted major attention to the development of a radical, politically relevant nonviolence movement.Called "the American Gandhi" in India, A. J. Muste's life and work are known and respected throughout the world. Whether he writes about his own life, national or international affairs, labor, or pacifism and nonviolence, A. J. Muste always treats his subjects with extensive knowledge, intelligence, personal insight, and a deeply human sense of justice.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
