Lay Down Your Arms: The Autobiography of Martha von Tilling

Bertha von Suttner

Translated by Holmes T.

Lay Down Your Arms, originally titled Die Waffen Nieder, is a fictional autobiography by Bertha von Suttner published in 1889. The book presents the experiences of a soldier's wife during four wars, highlighting the personal and societal impacts of conflict. It is notable for being a precursor to modern peace movements and reflects von Suttner's advocacy against war, which earned her a nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize. Her poignant plea, 'Lay down the arms,' resonates as a powerful anti-war message, especially as she foresaw the impending First World War before her death in 1914.
