Synopsis
The Doom Of War by Arthur Deerin Call. The work presents a pacifist analysis of the paradox of Christian civilization in war and argues that war is economically wasteful, morally perverse, and ultimately unsustainable. It surveys the exorbitant monetary costs of militaries and pensions, the misallocation of national wealth, and the consequent harm to public goods such as education and infrastructure. The author contends that the notion of war as insurance against future conflict is a false premise and highlights how arms races fail to deter wars, while diverting resources from productive life. Framing life as a principle – that life exists to produce more life – the text traces humanity’s historical progression from savagery toward universal solidarity and a world organized by peace rather than force. It chronicles the rise of peace movements since 1815, the proliferation of peace societies, and the growth of international arbitration and law. The book advocates replacing war with legal mechanisms, including the Hague Conferences and international courts, as steps toward a juridical federation of nations and lasting peace.
