- "A hard-hitting, thoughtful book about war--all wars--and its effect on the human spirit, especially our children's. Sixty authors and illustrators have donated their work to create this book, the proceeds of which will go to benefit three international peace organizations. This beautiful, yet sobering book, focusing heavily on World War II but featuring selections concerned with more contemporary wars as well, has been crafted by the well-known and the less famous, people of all colors and nationalities. Poetry, letters,short stories, and essays, interspersed with haunting artwork, combine to form one clear and poignant message: war is hell." Frances Bradburn, Booklist.
Includes Katherine Paterson's story of a Russian woman who failed for 43 years to convince the authorities that she had an unexploded bomb under her bed. Walter Dean Myers's poem, "To a Child of War," addresses contemporary urban America. Historian Greg Mitchell gives background on World War II in the Pacific. Nuclear physicist Michio Kaku writes that Einstein's "...famous equation, E=mc2, explains not only the nuclear furnace that lights up the stars; it also may someday be etched on the tombstone of the human race."

- Originally published in 1939 in England, Jennifer Goodwin writes in the preface to this American ed.: "Statistics show that people with guns in their homes are far more likely to be injured or killed...and our billions of dollars of military hardware not only haven’t made us feel secure, but in numerous confrontations we have been helpless to protect out citizens abroad... .The reappearance of similar events during so many different times and places suggests that they may reveal universal truths... .Ruth Fry revised the book and added new stories for more than a decade. In the course of over a year’s recent research on the psychology of violence, I myself have learned of many comparable ones. We are shown here that there are forms of power we have been ignoring or downgrading for centuries, that physical force is not the law work in human affairs."
