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; the quakers of cromwell's england; and the tolstoyans of nineteenth-century russia.
