A comprehensive overview of the history of the international nuclear disarmament movement is provided by Wittner (1993, 1997, and 2003). For a comparative perspective on the peace movements in the United States and Great Britain, see Young (1977).

For studies on the American peace movement, turn to Wittner (1984) or to DeBenedetti (1990), who concentrates on the Vietnam War. For studies on the peace movements in Great Britain and Germany, see Taylor (1988) and Cooper (1996).

On radical pacifism and nonviolence, see Tracy (1996). For an analysis of the WRI, see Prasad (2005).
