{"product_id":"elusive-dove-neil-hollander-9780786478910","title":"Elusive Dove: The Search for Peace During World War I","description":"\u003cp\u003e Most histories of World War I revolve around gruesome battles, ribboned generals and feats of military heroism. All too often the acts of those who tried to stop the fighting by word or deed have been drowned out by the roar of cannons. Yet even in the heat of battle individuals of courage stepped forward and attempted to bring the better part of humanity out of darkness and to revive the phoenix of peace.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This book tells in detail the stories of these people and their organizations, in Asia, North and South America and Europe. Henry Ford's \"peace ship\" of December 1915, the famous Christmas truce of 1914, secret diplomatic missions by Austro-Hungarian Prince Sixtus, and myriad other efforts are described, showing that the desire for peace was widespread and fervent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Neil Hollander\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0786478918\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780786478910\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/10\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2014","brand":"Neil Hollander","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48483688153343,"sku":"9780786478910","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8b7a0247-ef23-494d-9358-04dff1ae3776.jpg?v=1778040013","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/elusive-dove-neil-hollander-9780786478910","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
