A Realistic Path to Peace: From Genocide to Global War... And How We Can Stop It
This 2025 edition, featuring a new foreword addressing the Trump era, delivers an urgent analysis of global conflicts including the Ukraine-Russia war, the Israel-Palestine crisis, and tensions in East Asia. Dee Knight expertly cuts through propaganda and misinformation, exploring how the Big Lie shapes public consent and hinders peace efforts worldwide.
Through a powerful collection of essays, this book examines the U.S. foreign policy’s role in escalating wars and genocide, while spotlighting grassroots movements and international efforts pressing for peace. It is a must-read for anyone seeking a deep dive into geopolitical realities, peace building strategies, and the urgent need to oppose imperialism.
“This book of excellent essays, many written in the heat of events and conveying their urgency, analyzes the current U.S. drive for war, against Russia and beyond, in the longer historical perspective of the U.S. foreign policy as studied by its most important critics. Distilling long years in the peace movement, Knight exposes its roots and points to the only path to opposition to the U.S. war machine.”
— Radhika Desai, Geopolitical Economy Research Group
“Dee Knight has put together a critical analysis of U.S. foreign policy informed by years in the peace movement and rigorous research into the empire’s inner workings. A must-read for anyone wanting to understand how the U.S. is pursuing war with Russia and China, genocide against Palestine, and even global war,and why it must be stopped.”
— Danny Haiphong, Co-author of American Exceptionalism and American Innocence
“With the escalating genocide in Palestine, new Cold War on China, and its proxy war against Russia, it’s difficult to shake the feeling that the U.S. ruling class has lost all sanity. Motivated by their mission of hegemony, they’re pushing humanity toward World War 3. This timely volume by Dee Knight is a passionate plea for peace and bold action against imperialism.”
— Carlos Martinez, Editor, Invent the Future
“Drawing on a lifetime of resistance to empire, Dee Knight details global and domestic struggles against exploitation, and for a new, multipolar world. He shows we’re at a tipping the old world of war is ending, and a new one is emerging. Read this book to see how the pieces are coming together, struggle by struggle.”
— Michael Wong, Veterans for Peace; Co-founder, Pivot To Peace
“Knight’s incisive chronicling of the massacres in Palestine, hybrid war on China, and Ukraine war developments hones closely to one the greatest threat to humankind is the war-making of the United States. His years as an antiwar activist lead us to one We Must Resist!”
— Gerry Condon, Veterans for Peace, Golden Rule Project
Knight offers keen insights into the Biden administration’s provocations toward Russia and China and morally bankrupt policies in the Middle East. He writes clearly and urgently, contextualizing current U.S. imperialism in a long history of war-making, and the need to revitalize the peace movement now.
Dee Knight’s frontline experience and research expose how entrenched power structures and myths fuel endless violence. This book challenges readers to look beyond mainstream narratives and understand the economic and political forces behind modern wars.
You’ll find clear-eyed insights into how ordinary people worldwide are organizing for justice and peace in a future where no single nation dominates. Knight’s hopeful but urgent call to resist warmongering and build collective action is both timely and necessary.
