Summary "Ways of War and Peace" by Delia Austrian is a reflective narrative written in the early 20th century. The work intertwines personal observations with historical commentary, focusing on the intricate dynamics of war and peace during the backdrop of World War I. This book delves into themes of conflict, societal change, and the individual experiences of those living through such turbulent times, particularly highlighting the efforts of women and peace activists in the face of war. The opening of the book introduces the author's musings on the paradoxical nature of life and war, illustrating the contrasts between love and hate, and the beauty of civilization against the backdrop of brutality. Austrian recounts her experiences leading up to the war, including her encounters with peace activists like Anna Eckstein, whose dedication to promoting peace contrasts sharply with the impending conflict. This section begins to paint a vivid picture of pre-war Europe, evoking a sense of longing for the peace that is about to be shattered and setting the stage for the larger discourse on the implications of war on society and humanity.
