New Wars for Old: Being a Statement of Radical Pacifism, Paperback

By John Haynes Holmes. First published in 1916, New Wars for Old is the landmark pacifist manifesto of John Haynes Holmes — the minister who went on to co-found the ACLU and the NAACP. Long unavailable, this forgotten classic has been renovated from page scans and re-typeset by Gems Press to create this new edition.

Writing in the midst of World War I, Holmes argues that militarism cannot bring peace and calls instead for non-resistance as an active, constructive force. He clearly lays out his reasoning and visits the history of great pacifists, historical and contemporary, reiterating their advice to love one another.
