We Answered With Love Pacifist Service In World War I [Paperback]

In America, 1918 was a time of zealous patriotism. But not everyone believed in the rightness of war. Leslie Hotsons conscience led him to go to France with the American Friends Service Committee to repair the wounds of war. Mary Peabody worked to change conditions at home as a radical socialist and anti-war activist. Both hoped that their love of mankind would lead them to living out their highest ideals. We Answered With Love is based on the letters of these two thoughtful young people, giving a personal perspective on the role of pacifists during the Great War and, at the same time, revealing a delightful, romantic story of friendship turning to love.
