Every war has two losers : William Stafford on peace and war / edited and with an introduction by Kim Stafford. Every war has 2 losers. 1st ed. Minneapolis, Minn : Milkweed Editions, 2003. 168 p. ; 22 cm. Includes bibliographical references (p. 165-166). Born the year World War I began, acclaimed poet William Stafford (1914-1993) spent World War II in a camp for conscientious objectors. Throughout a century of conflict he remained convinced that war simply doesn't work. By his writings, Stafford showed that it is possible, and crucial, to think independently when fanatics act, and to speak for reconciliation when nations take sides. He believed it to be a failure of imagination to see only two options: to fight or to run away. This book gathers the evidence of a lifetime's commitment to nonviolence, including an account of Stafford's near hanging at the hands of American patriots. 20140108. Peace Literary collections.
