Choose Hope Your Role in Waging Peace in the

This moving dialogue between an American and a Japanese peace activist makes the compelling argument that ordinary people can and must guide their leaders to a safer and saner future free from a nuclear menace. This balance of Western and Eastern perspectives reveals how the development of true peace can grow only when narrow national loyalties are surpassed by a shared global vision. Inspiring examples of individuals working for an end to the nuclear threat showcase the role everyday people can play in the quest for peace. Particular encouragement is given to young people to build on their natural idealism to shape the world they will inherit.

David Krieger is a founder of the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation and has served as president of the Foundation since 1982 Daisaku Ikeda is president of the Soka Gakkai International
