Before the war, most of the activists profiled here had been engaged in other reform efforts, but the outbreak of war drew them together to make 'peace' their primary concern. This small, transatlantic network put forth proposals for changing the international system. They supported non-annexationist war aims and attempted to discredit nations' secret diplomacy, militarism and narrowly nationalistic practices. Instead, they wanted to develop a 'new diplomacy.' \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Search for Negotiated Peace \u003c\/em\u003echronicles this diplomatic effort from the earliest stages of the war, including their interactions with Woodrow Wilson, and various other national leaders.
