Recenzii
"In this engaged and insightful narrative of the internationally-minded citizens’ peace movement of the Great War era, David Patterson helps us appreciate that we can, indeed must, study flawed efforts to achieve peace in past times to help us fashion a more humane and peaceful world for the future."
—Frances H. Early, author of A World Without War: How U.S. Feminists and Pacifists Resisted World War I
"Patterson’s study, weaving diplomatic records with private papers, provides a thorough appreciation of that unpopular but far-seeking commitment where women’s initiatives were crucial. It shows what was visionary and "utopian" in 1914 became received wisdom by war’s end."
—Sandi E. Cooper, author of Patriotic Pacifism: Waging War on War in Europe, 1815-1914
"[A] welcome contribution to the fields of peace and diplomatic history ... Patterson offers an intriguing multiyear glimpse into the lives of peace activists who pressed on despite often-discouraging responses from foreign government officials ... One of the book’s strengths is its focus on the interplay of the women’s longstanding domestic reform agendas and their international diplomatic efforts to bring the war to an end and to negotiate postwar reforms."
—Rachel Waltner Goossen, Washburn University, in Peace & Change
"Readers interested in an exceptionally detailed accounting of the efforts of ordinary citizens to secure a negotiated peace will find this volume indispensable."

Descriere
The First World War was an epic event of huge proportions that lasted over four years and involved the armies of more than twenty nations, resulting in 30 million casualties, including more than 8 million killed.
This book is about the experiences that prompted American and European women (and men) to make peace and international reform their major concerns. Before the war, most of the activists profiled here had been engaged in other reform efforts, but the outbreak of war drew them together to make ‘peace’ their primary concern. This small, transatlantic network put forth proposals for changing the international system. They supported non-annexationist war aims and attempted to discredit nations’ secret diplomacy, militarism and narrowly nationalistic practices. Instead, they wanted to develop a ‘new diplomacy.’
The Search for Negotiated Peace chronicles this diplomatic effort from the earliest stages of the war, including their interactions with Woodrow Wilson, and various other national leaders. It encompasses diplomatic history, women’s history, and peace studies.
