Peace Not Terrorincludes essays by Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn, Dave Dellinger, Staughton Lynd, William Sloane Coffin, H. Bruce Franklin, David Cortright, David Harris, and others, including veterans of the Gulf War and the Iraq War. Many of these writers contributed to her earlier book,Against the Vietnam War: Writings By Activists(Rowman & Littlefield, 2007). The argument of the book is that a peaceful solution to the problems caused by the attacks of September 11, 2007 can be found.
The hope is that there are so many people who are willing to contribute to a book such as this one, and who are doing such wonderful work. They span the generations. The peace demonstrations all over the world before the war against Iraq testify to people's wishes, people's feelings.
This is the hope for the future.

We veterans know that this war is not being sanitized on the nightly news. It has nothing to do with ther liberation of the people of Iraq; instead it has everything to do with the subjugation and domination of these people in the name of U.S. imperial economic and strategic interests. Matthew Howard, USMC, Chair of the Vermont Chaper of Iraq Veterans against the War
This remarkable and indispensable book against U.S. militarism includes essays by Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn, Staughton Lynd, Dave Dellinger, and many others, including Iraq War veterans. These invaluable members of the peace movement show in their writings-and by their own personal stories-the way out of the cycle of violence that the U.S. military response to the events of 9/11 has created.
