Description
During the later stages of the Vietnam War, a group of European peace workers requested a bibliography of Mennonite writings on peace. This volume, prepared 1971-1987 by the Institute of Mennonite Studies, was the eventual result. It includes more than 10,000 entries covering 50 years of Mennonite writings on war and peace, including theses, dissertations and archival material as well as books and periodical articles. Entries are topically listed and fully annotated.
