Book Description
A first-of-its-kind gathering of the essential texts of the American antiwar tradition, from the Revolution to the war on terror: over 150 eloquent, provocative voices for peace. Library of America presents an unprecedented tribute to a great American literary tradition. War has been a reality of the American experience from the founding of the nation and in every generation there have been dedicated and passionate visionaries who have responded to this reality with vital calls for peace. Spanning from the Revolution to the war on terror, War No More gathers the essential texts of this uniquely American antiwar tradition in one volume for the first time. Classic expressions of conscience like Thoreau’s seminal “Civil Disobedience” lay the groundwork for such influential modern theorists of nonviolence as David Dellinger, Thomas Merton, and Barbara Deming. The long arc of the American antiwar movement is vividly traced in the urgent appeals of activists, made in soaring oratory and galvanizing song, and in dramatic dispatches from the front lines of antiwar protests. The voices of veterans, from the Civil War to the Iraq War, are prominently represented, as is the firsthand testimony of conscientious objectors. Contemporary writers, including Barbara Kingsolver, Jonathan Schell, Nicholson Baker, and Jane Hirshfield, demonstrate the ongoing richness of this literature in the years since September 11, 2001. Featuring more than 150 eloquent and provocative writers in all, War No More is a bible for activists, a go-to resource for scholars and students, and an inspiring and fascinating story for every reader interested in the crosscurrents of war and peace in American history. From the Hardcover edition.

Book Description
In the late 1950s there was a skiffle craze in Great Britain. This folk music with a rock beat was the gateway into music for artists such as The Beatles, The Kinks, Van Morrison, and most other UK rock, pop, folk and blues musicians who were successful in the 1960s. This book contains the full lyrics and guitar chords for 50 songs that were common on the repertoires of amateur and professional skiffle groups back then. Songs made famous by the likes of The Vipers, Chas McDevitt, Lonnie Donegan, Ken Colyer, and the City Ramblers skiffle groups. Songs include: 'Rock Island Line'; 'Midnight Special'; 'Putting On The Style'; 'Maggie May'; 'Freight Train'; 'Don't You Rock Me Daddy-O'; 'Pick a Bale of Cotton' ... and many other classics. Each song is presented over a double page spread with chords above the lyrics. There is also instruction in how to strum the ukulele when playing skiffle songs and a valuable explanation of the 'three chord trick'. All profits from this book are donated to Save the Children.
