This book is a provocative, informative alternative to conventional histories of the US a much needed antidote to American illusions about the redemptive power of violence.'George Crowell in the Conrad Grebel Review'This work is a timely and eyeopening corrective that helps the reader see U.S. history from a whole new perspective.'Walter Wink, Auburn Theological Seminary'In the martial atmosphere brought on by the horrific events of September 11, 2001 the myth of redemptive violence is once again ascendant. The need to glean counterexamples from the past has never been more pressing. . . . The Missing Peace is an important step toward conceptualizing an American past usable to teachers and peacemakers.'David Hostetter, in the Mennonite Quarterly Review'The scope of the book is stunning... Juhnke and Hunter make a compelling case for why we need to remember national history carefully and critically, with heightened sensitivity to the prophetic peacemakers of the American tradition.'Rachel Goossen, History department, Washburn University'Only when peace heroes become as recognized as war heroes in our textbooks and monuments will we have a chance to become a nation (and world) at peace.'James W. Loewen, Professor Emeritus, University of Vermont'If there really is an alternative way of peace, books like this are essential in pointing us in that direction.'Mark Noll, Professor of Christian Thought, Wheaton College
