Reviews
The year is 2010, the arms race has ended, and the world is at peace. How did it happen? That was the question posed by the Christian Science Monitor in a "Peace 2010" essay contest, and some 1300 people (from business, academia, etc.) submitted their own peace-making scenarios, 40 of which are printed in this unusual volume. Devoting a chapter to each of the essayists' solutions (peace through disaster; improved U.S.-Soviet relations; better peace-making machinery), the editors offer thoughtful analyses of the writers' diverse, often detailed and realistic entries. From the most frightening (a televised nuclear battle between India and Pakistan) to the quietest (citizen exchanges among nations), the possibilities of peace envisioned here form a stimulating book.

This distillation of 1300 essays submitted in the Christian Science Monitor's Peace 2010 contest has been grouped with thematic introductions by two Monitor editors into seven categories: awakening through disaster, superpower confrontation, flanking the superpowers, peace machinery, changes of consciousness, action groups, and citizen exchanges. From the perspective of 2010, contestants explained in varied ways how the world achieved peace. Some hewed to practical policy lines; others were a bit fanciful. But these scenarios, submitted by persons from all walks of life, are imaginative challenges to the peace professions and serve democracy well by pointing out to our leaders many workable paths to peace. As noted in the conclusion, the essays reveal that an "extraordinary storehouse of `peace energy' lies beneath the surface of our society." Clifton E. Wilson, Political Science Dept., Univ. of Arizona, Tucson
