War By Other Means: The Pacifists of the Greatest Generation Who Revolutionized Resistance - Daniel Akst Audiobook
Shared by:hdgdf
Pacifists who fought against the Second World War faced insurmountable odds—but their resistance, philosophy, and strategies fostered a tradition of activism that shaped America right up to the present day.
In this provocative and deeply researched work of history, Akst takes readers into the wild, heady, and uncertain times of America on the brink of a world war, following four fascinating resisters — four figures who would subsequently become famous political thinkers and activists — and their daring exploits: David Dellinger, Dorothy Day, Dwight MacDonald, and Bayard Rustin. The lives of these diverse anti-war advocates–a principled and passionate seminary student, a Catholic anarchist, a high-brow intellectual leftist, and an African-American pacifist and agitator–create the perfect prism through which to see World War II from a new angle, that of the opposition, as well as to show how great and lasting their achievements were.
The resisters did not stop the war, of course, but their impact would be felt for decades. Many of them went on to lead the civil-rights and anti-Vietnam War movements, the two most important social stands of the second half of the twentieth century. The various World War II resisters pioneered non-violent protest in America, popularized Gandhian principles, and desegregated the first prison mess halls. Theirs is a story that has never been told.

If Pacifists had had their way at the start of WWII Americans would have become slaves of the Third Reich.

And someone less charitable than I could say that Americans are now well on the way to creating a Reich of their very own.

Pacifism has a noble tradition of moral suasion (Dorothy Day is a personal hero, and one of the few shining lights in what was a truly dark century). It’s just ineffective when confronted by genocidal ideologies & tyrants.

Let me tell you something, there is NO WAY America would go to war against Nazi Germany today as it would be seen as a paragon of “anti-wokeness”
