| Few students of American history know Alfred H. Love, the eloquent pacifist who refused induction into the Union army in 1863 and went on to found and lead the Universal Peace Union (UPU) until his death in 1913. Readers of William Lloyd Garrison's Liberator will remember that Love frequently appeared in its pages during the Civil War years. Robert Doherty's 1962 dissertation ("Alfred H. Love and the Universal Peace Union") remains the closest biographical study, but Thomas F. Cur-ran's book should introduce a new generation to Love's work. |
