3/13 Ken Golsbun

As can easily be inferred from the title, “Peace: The Biography of a Symbol,” written by Ken Kolsbun, sketches the origin of the peace sign. This book clearly demonstrates how the peace sign was invented, its symbolic place in history, how it was adopted by antiwar movement of the 1960s, and its current universal appeal and relevance. “Peace” also relates the controversies it stirred, and more. The book also contains illustrations to help reader gain greater knowledge in the history of this interesting sign.
