The Fragile Voice of Love

The frightening and occasionally hilarious accounts of the author’s peace work in numerous countries—from Ireland and South Africa to Ghana and Croatia—are recalled in this moving and inspiring examination. Adopting the spiritual values and perceptions of Quakerism and Buddhism, the author blends together elements of psychology, anthropology, and mediation with a lifetime of experience in peace activism to bring the realities of peace work to life. Additional chapters explore the impact of the “Black Cloud,” or the psychological consequences of a nonpeaceful way of life, found throughout the world—whether by working with the leaders of nations or residents of remote villages.
