"Follow the wise words of Nelson Mandela, Dalai Lama, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Mahatma Gandhi, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and many others through literary excerpts, quotes, and anecdotes as they discuss harmony, violence, friendship, and hostility throughout history. This collection of writings highlights the search for peace from antiquity to modern times." --

The Peace Book

"You are invited to join The Great Peace Give-Away and give people what they truly hunger for in these difficult times--the gift of peace. The Peace Book provides simple everyday tools that can help us have more peace in our lives and in the world."--Back cover.

A long time ago in China, there existed three Books of Peace that proved so threatening to the reigning powers that they had them burned. Many years later Maxine Hong Kingston wrote a Fourth Book of Peace, but it too was burned--in the catastrophic Berkeley-Oakland Hills fire of 1991, a fire that coincided with the death of her father. Now in this visionary and redemptive work, Kingston completes her interrupted labor, weaving fiction and memoir into a luminous meditation on war and peace, devastation and renewal.
