Published for the first time, this is Merton's prophetic testament on war and peace. Thomas Merton (1915-1968) was one of the most prominent spiritual figures of the twentieth century. Daniel Ellsberg, author: "In this long-withheld manuscript, Thomas Merton identifies the readiness of many nations - led by our own - to prepare for and threaten mass murder as the most urgent moral crisis of our time. Ringing across four decades, his profound warning is more timely than tomorrow's headlines."
