Called "a pioneer work of the first importance" by Staughton Lynd, this book traces the history of pacifism in America from colonial times to the start of World War I. The author describes how the immigrant peace sects-Quaker, Mennonite, and Dunker -faced the challenges of a hostile environment. The peace societies that sprang up after 1815 form the subject of the next section, with particular attention focused upon the American Peace Society and Garrison's New England Non-Resistance Society. A series of chapters on the reactions of these sects and societies to the Civil War, the neglect of pacifism in the postwar period, and the beginnings of a renewal in the years before the outbreak of war in Europe bring the book to a close. The emphasis on the institutional aspects of the movement is balanced throughout by a rich mine of accounts about the experiences of individual pacifists.

*Awarded "Book of the Year" by the highly respected Motor Press Guild AND winner of the Dean Batchelor Award for best Motorsports Journalism of 2013!* Peter Brock's book "Corvette Sting Ray: Genesis of an American Icon" reveals the elaborate and complicated history and secret origins of the legendary "split window" 1963 Corvette Sting Ray. In 1957 Brock was one of the youngest designers ever hired by GM Styling. In 2017 Brock was inducted into the Corvette Hall of Fame. He gives automotive enthusiasts his revealing insider's look into what it was like working directly under GM's famed executive team of Bill Mitchell, Harley Earl, Zora Arkus-Duntov and Ed Cole, who risked their careers by flaunting corporate mandate to create one of America's most iconic designs. This profusely illustrated book, with previously unseen sketches and rare studio photographs, covers the unknown Italian influence that primed Mitchell's design, right on through the many changes in direction, goals and sometimes outrageous political machinations that resulted in various full-scale models, racing prototypes, and even Mitchell's personal race program before the production version was finally refined and brought to market in 1963. It's a story not just for Sting Ray owners but all serious students of automotive history. With a foreword by Ed Welburn, GM's current Director of Global Design, this special book will be a valuable asset to any library as well as a great read. More than 180 quality images, some 20 of which are Brock's original sketches from '57 and '58 in the search for the Sting Ray design.

Corvette Sting Ray Genesis of an American Icon

Brock Racing Enterprises, LLC, 1st edition (August 2013)

I am very pleased with my latest book (132 page soft cover book with pages sized at 8 ½" x 11", filled with great stories and photos). It covers my years at Shelby American with a focus on the time I spent in Modena, Italy designing the Shelby - De Tomaso P70 for Carroll Shelby, a car planned for the emerging Can-Am series. Working in Modena was one of the best experiences of my life. I started to write the story of the history and creation of the 1964 Shelby - De Tomaso P70 when I realized I also had to describe what was happening with Carroll's various projects, racing, and other cars I had designed at Shelby American (e.g. Lang Cooper, Nethercutt Mirage), to place the P70 car in context. Consequently in this book I share the transition from the Cobra's first appearance in '62 to its championship in '63, through to the King Cobra USRRC race period to the transition to Can-Am. Shelby had his fingers in a lot of pies. Every move was well thought out and intentional, all with the ultimate goal of getting Ford's lucrative GT40 program but having contingency plans in case it didn't happen. Shelby's venture with Alejandro de Tomaso was one of those contingencies. Looking back, these few short years turned out to be one of the most interesting and innovative in sports racer history. The quest to understand and harness air flow and ground effects led to amazing creativity and a race series that showcased it all to the world, the Can-Am. My designs during this period at Shelby's included the FIA World GT Champion Daytona Cobra Coupe, the Shelby GT350 Mustang, the Lang Cooper, the Nethercutt Mirage, Shelby's Can-Am spec racer and ultimately the Shelby - De Tomaso P70. My time in Italy working on the P70 created some of my most enjoyable memories. In this book I share my experiences during this amazingly creative era and share the story of the people and events that led to the creation of the P70. Enjoy! Peter Brock

Five years in exhaustive preparation and writing, Media Cleansing: Dirty Reporting, is the blockbuster book by American journalist Peter Brock that exposes the shocking record of the Western media's war reporting in the breakup of Yugoslavia and their collusion that deceived the world during the wars in Bosnia and Kosovo.Here are the documented contradictions, the profession-wide errors, admissions, confessions and suppression by the reporters and correspondents who were co-participants in the deliberate dismantling of a sovereign nation, inflaming governments and the United Nations, politicians and manipulating public opinion.This is the book that was feared by the mainstream American and European press since 1993 when "Dateline Yugoslavia: The Partisan Press" was published by this author in Foreign Policy, the journal of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace (Washington, D.C.). It reverberated throughout Western capitals, shattering the media's self-illusions about impartiality, objectivity, fairness and truth and provoked an unprecedented reaction and backlash from media organizations, journalistic societies, academics and government leaders, leading to street protests in Europe, and even a "press trial"!
