Book Description
Excerpt from Heroes of Peace The belief that lingers in school-books and newspapers that war is the mother of the higher virtues will never yield to a frontal attack. It must be fought, as intemperance must be fought, by counter-attractions, by building up a rival ideal. The qualities which have won it a reputa tion as a school of patriotism must be shown at work in the service of other and nobler causes.

Book Description
Excerpt from Heroes in Peace In an essay published some years ago on Thomas Carlyle's famous book, Heroes and Hero Worship, Prof. Macmechan, a well known student of literature in England, makes the following observation: In 1840, 'hero' meant, most probably, to nine Englishmen out of every ten, a general officer who had served in the Peninsula, or taken part in the last great fight with Napoleon, and who dined year after year with the Duke at Apsley House on the anniversary of Waterloo. To most people 'hero' means simply 'soldier, ' and implies a human soul greatly daring and greatly endur ing.

Book Description
Excerpt from Heroes of the Nations You have been working away with the queer, crooked marks printed in books until now you know how to read. How many splendid stories are waiting for you! To be sure they are locked up in books, but whoever can read has the magic key which opens the books. Will you enjoy this book? That depends upon what you like. Some of these stories are about girls and boys. Most of them learned to read and write, though their languages were very different from ours. They enjoyed fine stories as you do. Brave Joan of Arc could not read; but She could pray; and her prayers saved France. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Standard-Bearers: True Stories of Heroes of Law and Order In the foreword of an earlier book, Justice to All, I have told the story of the dastardly murder and heroic death of Samuel Howell, carpenter, ambushed by robbers on a lonely country road in the State of New York. In the book itself I have tried to tell the story, equally heroic, of the Pennsylvania State Police. The slaying of that fine young American laboring man, too true of heart to buy his life with his honor, unmasked once more an old and shameful fact - that the Empire State connived at such tragedies - accepted them without feeling, without action, and without remark. The trade of robber and murderer, so long as exercised upon the poor, was practically a snug and safe employment in rural New York. The rich, like lords of feudal castles, lived in their big houses surrounded by their own garrisons of servants and guards. But those of less estate, the farmers, the laborers, the women and girl-children in small isolated homes, or traversing lonely roads as perforce they must, - in a word, all the scattered population of the countryside, - were stolidly ignored by the one power morally responsible for their safety and their peace. The very government that enacted the laws treated its own enactments as "scraps of paper." The criminal world, in consequence, remained at perfect liberty to do the same.

Excerpt from Principles of Peace As story after story follows through 250 pages, I felt that here was a chapter of Church history which deserves to be better known. Most of those who suffered were men in the humble ranks of life, but they were of the stuff of which saints and heroes are made.

Book Description
A long time ago in China, there existed three Books of Peace that proved so threatening to the reigning powers that they had them burned. Many years later Maxine Hong Kingston wrote a Fourth Book of Peace, but it too was burned--in the catastrophic Berkeley-Oakland Hills fire of 1991, a fire that coincided with the death of her father. Now in this visionary and redemptive work, Kingston completes her interrupted labor, weaving fiction and memoir into a luminous meditation on war and peace, devastation and renewal.
