The FoRE has a growing library of books available on peace issues. These are available for loan to anyone living in the UK and FoRE Members living abroad. Loans are for a period of one month.

There is no fixed fee for use of this service. All charges levied are strictly for postage and handling and will, therefore, vary depending on weight, size and number of books borrowed. An invoice will be included when the books are despatched. Please be aware that we can only accept payment by cheques drawn on a UK bank or postal orders in £ Sterling.

The database available on this page helps you to find out what books are available.
