A landmark work in the history of peace movements, Pacifism in Europe to 1914 chronicles the long and complex tradition of nonviolent resistance and anti-war thought across the European continent from the medieval period through to the eve of the First World War. Peter Brock, one of the foremost scholars of pacifism, traces the ideological and social roots of conscientious objection, religious nonresistance, and organized peace advocacy, drawing on a wide range of sectarian and secular traditions including the Quakers, Mennonites, Tolstoyans, and early socialist movements. The work presents a rigorous and comprehensive survey of how pacifist ideas evolved and intersected with broader political and religious currents over several centuries. Authoritative in scope and deeply researched, it remains an essential reference for students of European intellectual history, the history of religion, and the origins of modern peace activism.
