Praise
“Peace will only come when all of us become the change we wish to see
in this world. David Hartsough became that change and has spent the
best part of sixty years working to bring peace to our troubled world.
His book is one that every peace-loving person must read and learn
from.”
—Arun Gandhi, president, Gandhi Worldwide Education Institute (grandson of Mahatma Gandhi)
“It has been my privilege to work with David Hartsough over the years
and to be arrested and jailed with him for nonviolent civil
disobedience. I highly recommend Waging Peace to every American who wishes to live in a world with peace and justice and wants to feel empowered to help create that world.”
—Daniel Ellsberg, Secrets: A Memoir of Vietnam and the Pentagon Papers
“When great events happen, such as the falling of the Berlin Wall, we
must never forget that people like David Hartsough and many others have
worked hard to prepare the ground for such ‘miracles.’ David’s belief
in the goodness of people, the power of love, truth, and forgiveness and
his utter commitment to making peace and ending war will inspire all
those who read this book.”
—Mairead Maguire, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, Peace People, Northern Ireland
“David Hartsough has lived an exemplary nonviolent life. Waging Peace highlights the numerous ways he has done this in many troubled parts of the world as well as in the United States.”
—Martin Sheen, actor
“If you want to know what it means to live a ‘life well lived,’ read
David Hartsough’s masterful book. It is not only a page turner, but it
will probably transform the way you look at your own life—your
priorities, your lifestyle, your future.”
—Medea Benjamin, cofounder of Code Pink and Global Exchange
