Commemorating Morton Deutsch's 95th birthday this book presents ten major texts by this highly

as a leading social science activist on issues of war and peace - writing papers making
speeches and participating in demonstrations. After serving in the U.S. Air Force during World
War II and being awarded two Distinguished Flying Cross medals as a psychologist he was
determined to work for a more peaceful world. Influenced by Kurt Lewin who believed that
nothing was as practical as a good theory Deutsch pursued theoretical work on such issues as
cooperation-competition conflict resolution and social justice with regard to issues of war
and peace. As President of the Society for the Study of Peace Conflict and Violence the
Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues and the International Society of Political
Psychology he helped to foster social science efforts to make for a more peaceful world.
