"Confronted with the roiling changes of the post-WWI world--from growing stateless populations to the resurgence of right-wing movements--the League of Nations aimed to counteract dangerous conflicts between national interests and generate instead a transnational, cosmopolitan dialogue on truth and justice. Amid widespread anxiety over truth and falsehood, an army of League personnel produced streams of documents in the pursuit of "shaping global public opinion." Combining the tools of global intellectual history and cultural history, A Violent Peace explores the power and the vulnerability of information systems while laying bare "the anatomy of fascism" in the interwar period. Carolyn Biltoft reopens the archives of the League to show how its attempt to operationalize information science in support of the post-WWI order proved ultimately pyrrhic as informational power struggles devolved into violence. A meditation on instability in information systems, the allure of fascism, and the contradictions at the heart of a global and violent modernity, A Violent Peace paints a rich portrait of the emergence of the age of information--and all its attendant problems"--

Tell the Truth, Let the Peace Fall Where it May is about coming clean down to the roots of your being. It's about walking through the world, through your entire life, in the fullness of who you really are. You were born for greatness. But you can't build greatness on a foundation of bullshit. This book is about three essential things: (1) how and why most people live disconnected from their authentic truth everyday. (2) what that chronic disconnection costs in joy, intimacy, fulfillment, vitality and more. (3) what it could look like to live every moment in our authentic truth. Ultimately, this book outlines what it can look like to live confidently in your full, authentic truth, throughout your life, everyday, trusting that the inevitable consequence of living in truth is that "peace" will effortlessly wrap itself all over you and wherever else it may ... without you having to do anything else to make that happen.

"Yet Russell was more than a great intellect; he was also a political animal. From the beginning of his long professional life he emphasized the importance of practice as well as theory. He was twice imprisoned by the British government for his political utterances. With his razor-sharp irony and morally impassioned rhetoric, Russell took on the forces of injustice, ignorance, and cruelty; one of his chief weapons was the letter to the editor.".
