Arimaa is a modern abstract strategy game with potential to rival the majesty of classics such as chess and Go. In Beginning Arimaa, two-time Arimaa World Champion Fritz Juhnke tackles two questions in alternate chapters: How does one play Arimaa well? And how does one judge that Arimaa is worth playing? The strategy chapters are replete with diagrammed positions to illustrate the fundamental concepts of Arimaa play. Juhnke takes the reader step by step from basic winning configurations, through capture techniques, on to strategies that befuddle even experts. Interspersed are Juhnke's reflections on how one might recognize a classic game in its infancy. Only the test of time can prove a game worthy, but as Juhnke recounts the brief history of Arimaa, a compelling case emerges that something extraordinary is just beginning.

Small Steps Toward the Missing Peace chronicles the author’s journey as a Mennonite peace activist, college teacher, and historian. The book traces Juhnke’s story from his early moral formation in a Mennonite community in Kansas to writing the book that crowned his career, The Missing Peace: The Search for Nonviolent Alternatives in United States History. (2001) The central theme of Small Steps is the tension between Christian pacifism and American militarism. Juhnke tells about the people and events that shaped his understanding of America in the light of Christian ideals in his youth, academic preparation, overseas experiences (Germany, Botswana, China), college teaching, and political involvements. The memoir culminates with the publication and reception of The Missing Peace. That book, co-authored with Carol Hunter, is a revisionist interpretation of main themes in United States history from the viewpoint of peace values.
