AB  - In this book, Petra Schönemann-Behrens provides an informative review of the life and times of Alfred Fried, a significant if underappreciated German pacifist of the late nineteenth century and the early twentieth century. In response to the militarism and international anarchy of the European states, Fried developed his unique notion of "revolutionary" or "scientific" pacifism, differentiating it from reform pacifism, in order to address the material causes of war. As theorist, practitioner, and journalist, Fried advanced radical concepts at the time: the formation of a pan-European union, the establishment of an effective international court of arbitration, the elimination of a secretive diplomatic class, and the expansion of international economic and cultural cooperation. This work is translated after the German work Alfred H. Fried: Friedensaktivist - Nobelpreisträger published by Römerhof Verlag, in 2011
