say whar?Mar 13, 2009
Does anyone else find the title an oxymoron?
Peace is defined as a state of harmony among people or groups.
Living in peace is the opposite of acts of protest.
So which is it? Peace? or Protest?
Protesting is sometimes a necessary evil and those who protest can often become heros. However, protesting by it's very nature is designed to make those with a different viewpoint to become uncomfortable and hopefully change their behavior. Protesting is not harmonious. The Boston Tea Party was a protest. It was noble. But it wasn't peaceful.

Peace: 50 Years of ProtestMar 12, 2009
This book is very interesting. Great photos in book....only complaint would be who i actually purchased it from...the binding had been worn and had a red stamp with an R on it...i suppose indicating a return.....so it was not in new quality as they said it would be. The book itself content-wise was great.

Give PEACE a chance...Oct 19, 2008
Nice coffee table book. Nice photos and (albeit sketchy) text. It's a nostalgia piece (no pun intended)...an illustrated outline of the why of a bulk of the 1960's philosophy. I actually had wished for it to be more, but was satisfied enough with what the book explained/portrayed. Sometimes there just are not enough pictures and words, perhaps?
