Peace academy publishes first book

LIBERTY, NY — The Peace Academy @ Liberty has announced the publication of its first book, “The Lilac Book of Peace: “Axioms & Quotes.” The quotations address peace war war, democracy, community, humanity, morality, courage, love and more. Some are deadly serious; some are fun.

The 64 pages of wit and wisdom include the words of the famous, the infamous and the not yet famous. A few brush-scripted Japanese calligraphs present a puzzle for readers to sort out four meanings: peace, heart, harmony and dragon.

The Peace Academy has priced the Lilac Book of Peace at $6, little more than the costs of printing, in order to reach the widest possible audience.
