Uprooting War

by Brian Martin

First published in 1984, this is unfortunately, still rather relevant. A serious look at strategies against war, which involve confronting institutions such as the state, bureaucracy, the military and patriarchy, as opposed to lobbying, rallies and civil disobedience. Some of the alternative directions examined are social defense, peace conversion, and building self-managing political and economic institutions.
