- Summary
-
"In 1889 Bertha von Suttner succeeded in publishing what would become an almost instant international bestseller, the antiwar novel Die Waffen nieder! (Lay Down Your Arms!). It was a tremendous breakthrough, transforming her into a public political figure. ... The polemic plot centers on the formative journey of a well-behaved aristocrat's daughter into a feisty challenger of the widely accepted view that war was a necessary evil. According to Nobel, Suttner had declared "war on war."" (Encyclopedia of the Frist World War)
