The book covers both historically significant events (the World Wars, anti-colonialism, Germany’s rearmament, among others) and controversies and differing viewpoints within the peace movement itself. The story begins with two anti-militarists, Lilly and Felix, who, on their way to take action against a Bundeswehr recruitment stand, come across a peace movement demonstration. There, a debate breaks out with older peace activists, during which the history of anti-war activism is explored.
Historically, this includes the founding of the German Peace Society (DFG-VK), the struggle against war by anarchists and Marxists, and resistance during the World Wars. Other topics addressed include anti-colonialism, NATO and international law, the anti-nuclear movement, protests against the Vietnam War and the 1968 movement, debates on militancy and violence in the wake of the RAF’s actions, graswurzelrevolution, and much more.
“Especially today, resistance against warmongers and the arms lobby is necessary. Findus and M. Schulze von Glaser have created an enlightening and encouraging comic.”
