Publisher Description
Disarm! Disarm! is a powerful anti-war novel and a plea for disarmament. Bertha von Suttner was an Austrian pacifist and the first woman to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1905.
The novel follows the lives of a couple, Martha and Paul, who experience the devastating impact of war firsthand. Through their story, von Suttner explores the futility and horrors of armed conflict, advocating for peace, international cooperation, and the abolition of militarism.
While the novel does include elements of personal relationships and the impact of war on individuals and families, its primary focus is on the broader themes of peace and disarmament. It is considered a seminal work in the peace movement and a critique of the glorification of war in society.
