"Défini comme l'opposition systématique à l'institution militaire, mais bien distinct du pacifisme, l’antimilitarisme naît avec les mutations de la guerre, le renforcement de l’État, le resserrement des liens qui pèsent sur la société. Idéologie militante pour certains, qui le revendiquent jusqu’à l’engagement insurrectionnel, il n’est qu’une émotion mineure pour d’autres, dégoûtés par la caserne ou l’uniforme. Il désigne en tout cas un continuum de pratiques variées dont ce livre analyse les formes et les enjeux, les développements et les reflux, afin d’éclairer d’un jour nouveau l’envers de la construction de l’État. Car l’étude de l’antimilitarisme révèle l’existence de différentes conceptions de la modernité politique et culturelle et permet d’en questionner les confrontations.Souvent étudié dans une perspective militante, l’antimilitarisme n’est plus aujourd’hui au centre du débat public, il est donc temps d’en écrire l’histoire. Fruit de recherches pionnières et discutées collectivement, ce livre offre la première synthèse scientifique sur la question, sans équivalent international. Mobilisant trente-cinq spécialistes des XIXe et XXe siècles, il articule un récit d’ensemble continu et rythmé avec des éclairages détaillés mettant en valeur la diversité des acteurs, des événements et des espaces, prenant en compte la dimension impériale et ouvrant des pistes de comparaison internationale."--

Peace movements became a part of the national landscapes of British, American, and European politics in the nineteenth century, reaching their peak during the European arms race of 1889-1914. This study examines the history of European peace movements from the end of the Napoleonic wars to the beginning of the First World War, analysing their methods and influence, and examining their ideological underpinnings and internal conflicts.

In 1777, Congress labeled Quakers who would not take up arms in support of the War of Independence as "the most Dangerous Enemies America knows" and ordered Pennsylvania and Delaware to apprehend them. In response, Keystone State officials sent twenty men-seventeen of whom were Quakers-into exile, banishing them to Virginia, where they were held for a year.Prisoners of Congress reconstructs this moment in American history through the experiences of four families: the Drinkers, the Fishers, the Pembertons, and the Gilpins. Identifying them as the new nation's first political prisoners, Norman E. Donoghue II relates how the Quakers, once the preeminent power in Pennsylvania and an integral constituency of the colonies and early republic, came to be reviled by patriots who saw refusal to fight the English as borderline sedition. Surprising, vital, and vividly told, this narrative of political and literal warfare waged by the United States against a pacifist religious group during the Revolutionary War era sheds new light on an essential aspect of American history. It will appeal to anyone interested in learning more about the nation's founding.
