The book explores the evolution of pacifism in America from colonial times to World War I, highlighting the struggles of immigrant peace sects like the Quakers, Mennonites, and Dunkers in a challenging environment. It delves into the formation of peace societies post-1815, particularly the American Peace Society and Garrison's New England Non-Resistance Society. The narrative examines their responses to the Civil War, the postwar neglect of pacifism, and a resurgence before World War I, interwoven with personal stories of individual pacifists.
