Soft cover. This item is a part of a group of over 30 original mimeographs and offprints purchased from Merton bookdealer Jeannette Cantrell who received them from monk of Gethsemani Tom Zele. This group of items were obtained by Zele during the 1960s while living alongside Merton at the monastery.

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.
