I am trying to find the title and author of a book published in the mid- to
late 1960's. It had a one-word title and was based on William James's "The
Moral Equivalent of War." It described a future society in which war was
avoided by young men's submitting to having one or more of their limbs
amputated. True "pacifists" remained armless and legless, cared for by
society. The others were fitted with bionic limbs and participated in super
athletic games as a means of channeling their aggressive impulses.

I would appreciate any help available.
