We Say No: The Plain Man's Guide to Pacifism

By Dick Sheppard

Written in 1935 as he watched the Great Powers gearing up for yet another conflict following the "War to End All Wars," We Say No presents the well-known Anglican preacher Dick Sheppard's case against war and for peace on the basis of Christian ethics. After examining Jesus Christ's own arguments against war, Sheppard moves on to refute various popular arguments used to support the case for war, including if-we-didn't-someone-else-would, "what if they raped your sister?" and support for revolutionary Marxism. He takes particular aim at those he terms "internationalists," who pin their hopes for world peace on the creation of a super-state to police the nations and speculates about what might happen if the world's greatest minds were to commit themselves to organized and consistent support for disarmament.
