Book Description
Excerpt from Proceedings of the Fifth American Peace Congress: Held in San Francisco, California, October 10-13, 1915; As the Sixth and Last Congress of the Committee of One Hundred; (Appointed by the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America to Have Charge of the Religion Activities During the Panama-Paci The International Peace Congress, held at San Francisco, October 10th and 13th inclusive, 1915, was but one of the more than Nine Hundred Congresses and Conventions held in the Golden Gate City during the Exposition year. Never before in one year and in one place were so many Congresses held. The great Exposition, which drew to itself millions of visitors from all parts of the world, afforded special opportunity for this up-to-date Peace Congress, as also for the world-wide publicity of its proceedings. The dominating idea of the Exposition as expressed on every notable occasion was World Peace. This greatest of Peace Congresses became possible by reason of two main contributing factors. First, by the generosity of the Church Peace Union in giving, expressly for Peace Work, to the funds of the Committee of One Hundred on Religious Activities during the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, the sum of Five Thousand Dollars. Second, by the willingness of the American Peace Society to combine its Fifth Peace Congress (which it had planned to hold in Washington, D. C.) with this Congress. This dual action of these our two greatest American Peace Societies quickly secured the hearty co-operation of all other Peace Organizations, thus making it possible even while all Europe was plunged in the most appalling war of all history, to concentrate in one powerful impact upon the public mind the sanest and latest Peace thought of the most forward men and women now leading in the all-absorbing, all-commanding cause of World Peace. That this Congress was timely; that its programs met public expectation; that it fully justifies the efforts and the expense; and that its platform is worthy, is thought-challenging and lifts sane horizon for International Peace; who that rightly studies its able addresses and weighs its platforms will deny?

Book Description
The First World War was an epic event of huge proportions that lasted over four years and involved the armies of more than twenty nations, resulting in 30 million casualties, including more than 8 million killed. Set against the backdrop of this massive carnage, The Search for Negotiated Peace is the gripping story of the events that moved high profile American and European citizens, particularly women, into the international peace movement. This small, transatlantic network put forth proposals for changing the international system of negotiation. They supported non-annexationist war aims and attempted to discredit nations’ secret diplomacy, militarism and narrowly nationalistic practices. Instead, they wanted to develop a ‘new diplomacy.’ David Patterson skillfully develops the interactions of many of the notable leaders of the movement, including Jane Addams, Aletta Jacobs, and Rosika Schwimmer, into an absorbing narrative that brings together the various strands of women's history, international diplomatic history, and peace history for the first time. The Search for Negotiated Peace is an essential read for anyone interested in the social history of World War I and the foundations of citizen activism today.
