It presents an author’s research journey beginning in the late 1970s, shaped by early experiences with war stories and an enduring moral shock from witnessing footage of Nazi concentration camps. The narrative structure moves from investigation and orientation into a wide-ranging sequence of themed historical and theological chapters, supported by notes, bibliography, and an index.","WILLIAM BRAMLEY  \nTENTION: ORGANIZATIONS AND CORPORATIONS Most Avon Books paperbacks are available at special quantity discounts for bulk purchases for sales promotions, premiums, or fund-raising.

Solving the down-to-earth problems of war and human suffering seemed so much more important than arguing over whether or not \"little green men from Mars\" might occasionally be visiting Earth.  \nI began researching this book in 1979; however, my desire to see an end to war arose much earlier in life, at just about the age of eight.
