PRAISE FOR ONE WORLD DEMOCRACY
"In religious terms this book leads one to believe that Disarmageddon might actually be possible. Written clearly and without pretense, it shows a path to world peace never before tried by civil society or by governments."
—Roger Kotila, Ph.D.
Board chairman of the Democratic World Federalists in San Francisco
"All who recognize that law is better than war will be enlightened and inspired by the authors' clear articulation of what is needed to move humankind toward a more democratic world order."
—Benjamin B. Ferencz
Prosecutor at the Nuremberg war crimes trials after WWII, renowned legal scholar, and coauthor of Planethood (see Benferencz.org)
"One World Democracy is required reading for today's visionary political leaders and progressive activists. One day this book will be very widely appreciated, as the future will inevitably bring its vision into fruition."
—Tad Daley, J.D., Ph.D.
Former Issues Director, Dennis Kucinich for President
National Policy Board, Progressive Democrats of America
"At times prophetic, always thought provoking, this comprehensive manifesto of planetary patriotism represents a timely educational tool for every teacher dealing with international relations and global challenges."
—Urs Cipolat, Ph.D., Nuclear Armament Expert, Lecturer at University of California, Berkeley
"In the tradition of speaking truth to power, Jerry Tetalman and Byron Belitsos have written a true and courageous book." (see complete quote below)
—Joseph P. Baratta, Ph.D., author of The Politics of World Federation
"This is a wonderful book. If all our national leaders were required to read merely the preface to this book, the world would be a safer place."
—James T. Ranney, president, World Constitution Forum
"Congratulations on a very good book. One World Democracy is a great book which shows very clearly why global solutions require a democratic world federation."
—Ron Glossop
author of World Federation? and professor emeritus at St. Louis University
"I consider this to be a seminal World Federalist work, on a par with Emery Reves's The Anatomy of Peace (1945-46) and Ron Glossop's World Federation? A Critical Analysis (1993). However, it is especially outstanding for being in tune with the needs of the world of the 21st Century. Reading [it] would be of benefit not only to prospective, current, and lapsed world federalist activists, but also to the lay public, which badly needs an understanding of how the world should be governed in these increasingly critical times."
—John O. Sutter, president, Democratic World Federalists
"One World Democracy is another strong argument which reinforces the one basic formula for world peace, 'There is no peace without justice, no justice without law, and no law without government,' which was first penned by William Penn in 1693. It should be placed on the reading lists of all high school as well as college students. And, a copy of this book should be sent to all members of the U.S. Congress."
—Hal Schaffer, president, The American Movement for World Government
"One World Democracy presents an inspiring vision of humanity flourishing under a global rule of law provided by a democratic world government. The authors argue persuasively that enforceable world law, the absence of which amounts to international anarchy, is essential to solve the world's most critical problems."
—Bob Gauntt, vice president, The Coalition for Democratic World Government
