Compulsory ROTC and the efforts against it.

Peace and Conflict: Journal of Peace Psychology, Vol 29(4), Nov 2023, 463-464; doi:10.1037/pac0000699Reviews the book, Breaking the War Habit: The Debate Over Militarism in American Education by Seth Kershner, Scott Harding, and Charles Howlett (2022). The book gives us a chronological review of the campaigns to demilitarize education, focusing on the roles of the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC; college) and the Junior ROTC (K-12; JROTC) in the United States. The reviewer believes that this book could easily be updated to include a comparison of similar movements occurring in other countries. They also think a whole chapter could be devoted to the interaction of the antimilitary education movement and the peace movement more broadly. More specifically, it would be good to know how these organizations are related to other peace activism. That said, the authors believe that this book is a great introduction to one particular aspect of the peace movement and the many people and organizations associated with it.
