All of One Peace: Essays on Nonviolence

by Colman McCarthy

A writer for the Washington Post for twenty-five years, Colman McCarthy is well respected as a pacifist, teacher, journalist, and advocate of nonviolence. In his twice-weekly columns which are nationally syndicated, he has extolled nonviolence as both a philosophy and a practical way of life. As a high-school, college, and law school teacher, he has taught the principles and history of nonviolence to more than three thousand students in the past decade. What McCarthy has written over the years is, as he puts it, all of one peace. His consistency of vision derives from the indwelling of nonviolence. He blames no one for the culture of violence in which we live, but for a quarter-century he has spoken out honestly and passionately against that culture. All of One Peace is a major part of the body of work that has come to stand for integrity, reason, and candor in a time marked by lies, violence, and absurdity.

Reviews

[Kristina Doucet · Rating 5 out of 5]

Professor McCarthy was, without doubt, one of the most influential people in my life. Reading this collection, felt like sitting in his class again, and, like his class, made me pause to think. I wish everyone could meet him, and if they can't, I hope everyone reads his writing.

You won't find many books about pacifism and non-violence that are as readable and understandable as this one.

A brilliant and inspiring professor at American University, his teachings are of value to everyone who deep down truly wants to change the world.
