Did you know that it was on a July 9th that Einstein and Russell warned of the need to choose between war and human survival, that it was on July 10th that France bombed and sank a Greenpeace ship, that July 11th is World Population Day, that this July 12th was Henry Thoreau's 205th birthday, and July 13th the day that the first wartime draft (and the resulting riots) began in the United States?

You would know all that and the answers to most of the questions that we at World BEYOND War are ever asked, if you had a copy of A Global Security System: An Alternative to War. Buy the . . .
We'll send you either one of these books as a thank you gift, if you become a sustaining donor at $15 a month or more.
We'll work with you to organize book clubs, classroom speakers, or other events. When peace starts breaking out, we need more people to understand how to make it strong and lasting. When the next war breaks out, we need fewer people imagining they can be "against wars except this one."
