The Roerich Pact and the Banner of Peace is a book written by Nicholas Roerich, a Russian artist, philosopher, and explorer. The book discusses Roerich's efforts to promote world peace through the creation of an international treaty called the Roerich Pact, which aimed to protect cultural heritage sites during times of war.

The Roerich Pact was signed by 21 countries in 1935 and is still in effect today.In addition to discussing the Roerich Pact, the book also explores Roerich's concept of the Banner of Peace, which is a symbol of cultural unity and a call for the protection of cultural heritage. The Banner of Peace features three circles, representing art, science, and religion, and is meant to be flown over cultural sites during times of conflict.The Roerich Pact and the Banner of Peace is a thought-provoking book that challenges readers to consider the importance of cultural heritage and the role that individuals can play in promoting peace.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
