Although pretty short, it is filled with useful data that helps you decide to become a Pacifist. Violence has never done any good for humankind, and this book is filled with examples that anyone can remember. It invites the readers to take their own point of view in the matter and opens the discussion on what could be going wrong in today's world. One thing is for sure: Violence will take us nowhere. ~ Alan D.D. (Reviewer) , NetGalley

Following Maria J Stephan’s insight that overall nonviolent campaigns are twice as likely to succeed as military ones, in Tim Gee’s hands pacifism becomes the ultimate campaign, in the sense that it offers resistance not only to conventional wars but also the violence of poverty and racism, gender-based violence and inequality across the globe. Framed by the author’s personal reflections, interspersed with insights from the Quaker tradition on equality and peace, this excellent resource will encourage us to challenge our propensity to violence both as individuals and in our organisations. ~ Henrietta Cullinan, London Catholic Worker

Tim Gee is wonderfully articulate in this informative, thought provoking and moving account of why he, along with many other Quakers, is a pacifist. ~ Chloe Scaling, The Young Quaker magazine

This book is a short, clear, comprehensive explanation of pacifism that covers all the bases and doesn’t shy away from the difficult questions. As it moves effortlessly from the theory of a Just War to the practical successes of nonviolent protest, from the origins of pacifism to its links with the struggles against racism and sexism, the book highlights just how essential a peaceful approach is to us and the world. ~ Oliver Robertson, Fellowship of Reconciliation UK
