An excellent pick for educators seeking insights on teaching peace within the education curriculum August 12, 2008
When Washington Post columnist Colman McCarthy was invited to teach a course on writing at an impoverished public school in Washington DC, he responded that he'd 'rather teach peace' - and thus he began a new career, teaching courses on nonviolence and conflict management to a range of schools. "I'd Rather Teach Peace" details one semester in six of these schools, and is an excellent pick for educators seeking insights on teaching peace within the education curriculum.

McCarthy's book is inspirational. I'm working on a manuscript on peace and writing, and sometimes the realities of the world raise serious doubts. When it becomes hard to believe in the possibility of peace, I open this book.

Very heart-felt, and gets to the core of many issues affecting us as a nation, and really does make you wonder "Why don't they teach Peace in school?".
This is a wonderful life-changing book. March 18, 2005

I love McCarthy's book. His writing is enjoyable, which is how all writing should be. It was a pleasure to learn from this man.
I recently started studying anything I could find about peace and this book was the second one I read after searching at the local library.
I now have an idea how much literature there is out there about non-violence. McCarthy has successfully urged me to keep reading about this subject. Besides his occasional description of other sources, mentioned throughout his book, he even put a section at the end that lists additional authors and their titles, for further study.
As a result of reading his book, I find that I would like to help in any way I can to make the world a better place through teaching non-violence.
How to teach peace...and how to learn to be peaceful October 17, 2003

In 2002, I read 101 books. "I'd Rather Teach Peace" was the best one.Colman McCarthy tells stories about teaching people to resolve conflicts. He describes what worked and what didn't. He also tells you what his students taught HIM --- he's humble enough to know he's a student, too. I learned that I don't think about peace enough. Now I think about it more and I keep an eye out for conflicts that I can help to resolve. I don't know exactly how to create peace around me, but thanks to Colman McCarthy I know I need to learn. This is an inspiring and simple book. I'd gladly read another 100 just to stumble across something like this again.
