The book (available online) Islam and World Peace: Explanations of a Sufi comes from the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship. I read this book a long time ago around the time I first became Muslim. It stood out for me because in a practical sense Bawa Muhiyaddeen is a Muslim pacifist. Even though he passed away in 1986, I've been hearing about him more these days. I think his message is appealing more and more to Muslims.
Here is the rest of their online library and here is the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship website.

Assalamu alaikum, thanks so much for linking to this! I'd never heard of the author of this book, and naturally, I was a little, well, I don't want to say "suspicious", but, I'm not sure how to describe it. I've started reading the book / listening to it, but I've not gotten very far. I've been so tired from work that when I do try to listen to it, I end up falling asleep. There is also a site called www.bookshare.org, which I'm trying to get a membership to. It is a site with copyrighted online books for people with disabilities which make reading standard print material difficult. For example, people who are visually impaired or people who can't hold a book, for example. I had to send in verification of my disablity, but Inshallah, I'll hear back from them soon. I think volunteers can submit books to be added to the site if they'd like, and maybe, if there isn't a selection of Muslim authors, maybe it is possible to get Muslim authors to submit their work?
Anyway, assalamu alaikum and take care.
