Oswald Garrison Villard: The Dilemmas of the Absolute Pacifist in Two World Wars

Oswald Garrison Villard (1872-1949) was owner and editor of both the New York Evening Post, and The Nation during the first half of the twentieth century. His career as a pacifist paralleled the buildup of the American military from a minor auxiliary of the state to the military- industrial complex that dominates the economy of today. Originally published in 1983, this volume contains an introduction, followed by a collection of articles, selected letters and excerpts from books written by Villard and published during this time.
