Reviews

""The case studies in The Peace Script are nuanced and insightful and the freshness of the subject and perspective taken produces a genuine contribution, which speaks to a current interest in matters of race, ethnicity, and gender."" --Robert Ivie, coauthor of Hunt the Devil: A Demonology of US War Culture ""Manthey's book is poised to make integral leaps in our knowledge and analysis of social movement rhetoric and the very conception of how peace has been an absorbent, malleable, and ultimately explosive substance over the course of post-Civil War American history into the present day."" --Timothy Barney, author of Mapping the Cold War: Cartography and the Framing of America's International Power
