User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐This is a good resource for thinking through the questions of how wars arise, and how we can have an effect within our own spheres of influence.

⭐Definitely in the top 10 books every library should have, wisdom from the worlds greatest leaders of the 21st century. These women are heroic, eloquent, and committed to creating a healthy planet and just world.

⭐We live in wonderful times. Why publishers continue to publish this kind of trash is beyond me. People who haven’t resolved their own problems seem to have no outlet but to hide behind politics… Being cruelly perhaps, ignored as children how many protesters have we seen with tears and emotion now stand up for cause X and scream. WeWill be heard! Its mommy and daddy’s fault and you dear childish protester was honestly hurt. The resolution is to attend and heal your pain…not pretend it is an important political issue. Nope u aren’t changing the world…ur pain wil just continue if u try and hide it behind slogans like the cover of this farce.I always fear that some publisher chose this trash to publish over perhaps the next Dostoyevsky whom he rejected.

⭐This book is nothing less than righteous and inspirational. Medea Benjamin is an amazing American outling the path to real change.

⭐I saw these women protesting in front of the White House and was inspired by their energy, the information in their material and the humor they delivered it with….Their book has delivered the same. Thoughtful, informative, easy access, well presented, deeply inspiring and heartful. The breadth and depth pulled me in so that I couldn’t put it down. I am ready to Stop the Next War Now.

⭐I’m about 75 pages into this book so far, and I love it. It offers up a lot of food for thought, including ideas for moving from a “dominator” model in our society to a more democratic “partnership” model, how to educate your children in peacebuilding, and so on.

⭐Tell everyone you know to read this book! What a great way to promote peace, and offer a very interesting read. I highly recommend this book to anyone concerned about where our world is headed right now.

⭐Love Medea Benjamin but the book was untidily edited
