Summary: A good story, and good writing
Review: I don't like it as much as the first 7 books, but Jack Cavanaugh still has a way of drawing you into the story and keeping your interest alive. It does show the awful situations of the 60's...I guess that's why I didn't like it as much; because of the immoral living condition of the college people. And I also wasn't sure what to make of the ending, about the "Jesus movement". It seemed to be leading people to Christ, but it was an unusual and odd sort of thing, and I felt uncomfortable with it. I'm sure the Lord did use the young people in that movement, but it just seemed to go against some of the Biblical principals. Maybe not.Anyway, I enjoyed the book over all--the war part was exciting and emotional, as well as the rest--and I hope Jack Cavanaugh continues to write these kinds of good historical novels!

Summary: The Peacemakers captured the era in which I grew up.
Review: Jack Cavanaugh gives an exciting glimpse of one of the most turbulent times in our country's recent history. He weaves the stories of a brother and sister deeply involved in the politics of the day, with the Vietnam War and the protester riots, and he does so with such depth of emotion and engaging style that a subject I would ordinarily have found depressing took on new meaning. I want to read more books by Jack Cavanaugh.
