Cold War Letters / mimeograph Place Published: Privately printed at The Abbey of Gethsemani (Trappist, Kentucky)
Notes
Original mimeograph in textured yellow card covers and bound in plastic comb binding. This copy was obtained from Clayton Barbeau who obtained it originally from his literary agent Naomi Burton Stone (also Mertons' literarty agent at the time). Although Merton was forbidden from publishing on the subject of war and peace, he did use the Abbey of Gethsemanis' mimeograph machine to write his views and circulate them among friends and acquaintances. This is one such mimeograph.

The Root of War
Number of Pages
4 (one oversized folded sheet)
Edition
First separate printing. Short Title: The Root of War
Notes
Criptic reprint of this essay from the October 1961 issue of "The Catholic Worker" - probably the first separtate printing. "The Root of War is Fear" was the first in a series of Catholic Worker articles by Merton criticizing the arms race and the Cold War. It appeared again later that year, in somewhat shortened form, in Merton's book "New Seeds of Contemplation". This unusual pamphlet printing, with title shortened to "The Root of War", most likely was published in 1961 and came from the personal library of John Beecher (1904-80), noted social protest poet and fine press publisher. Beecher also published "On Acquiring a Cistercian Breviary", a poem dedicated to Merton which is also a part of this collection.
