Robert Pickus (October 31, 1923 – January 22, 2016) was a prominent figure in Quaker, pacifist, and peace movements.[1][2] Born in Sioux City, Iowa, he was co-author of Speak Truth to Power (American Friends Service Committee, 1955); founder of Turn Toward Peace (1961), and World Without War Council (1969); and co-author with Robert Woito of To End War: an Introduction to the Ideas, Books, Organizations, and Work That Can Help (1970) In the mid-1960s Pickus caused controversy by attacking "radical pacifists and leftists" in the anti-Vietnam war movement, whom he accused of being "naively one-sided in their criticism of American foreign policy".[3] In a 2001 interview, Pickus argued that in "the current political climate, war is essential for justice to prevail".[4] He also stated that the WWWC supported actions such as the bombing of Taliban radio systems, provided civilians were given advance warning.[4] Pickus also stated he regarded the United States as a benevolent force in world affairs.[4] Pickus died on January 22, 2016, in St. Helena, California.
