Anti-militarism, as a book category, encompasses works that critically examine the role, expansion, and influence of military institutions and militarized thinking in society. Titles in this genre explore the political, economic, cultural, and ethical costs of militarism—questioning doctrines of war, compulsory service, arms races, and the normalization of military solutions to social and geopolitical problems. The category includes historical analyses of wars and empires, policy critiques, philosophical and ethical arguments, investigative journalism, memoirs from resisters and veterans, and fiction that dramatizes the human consequences of militarization. Common themes include civil liberties, conscientious objection, demilitarization, the military-industrial complex, imperialism, the social impact of defense spending, and nonviolent or diplomatic alternatives to security. While often aligned with peace and pacifist traditions, the genre encompasses diverse perspectives united by skepticism toward military power as a primary tool of statecraft.
