Synopsis
Excerpt from The Future of War in Its Technical, Economic, and Political Relations
The death of M. Jean de Bloch, which occurred at Warsaw just as the year (1902) began, is a misfortune for the whole world. It is peculiarly so at this immediate juncture; for the imperative problem with the world at this time is how to get rid of war and substitute for it a rational way of settling international differences, and no other man in our time Has studied this problem so scientifically or contributed so much to its solution as Jean de Bloch. Indeed, I think it is not too much to say that M. Bloch was the most thorough and important student of the question of War in all its details and upon its many sides who has ever lived, and that his great book upon "The Future of War" will remain the chief armory from which the men of the twentieth century who are warring against war will continue to draw until their sure victory comes, and all national and international disputes are settled in the courts, as to-day personal disputes are settled.
I think that no book ever written in the cause of the peace and order of the world, save Hugo Grotius's great work alone, has rendered or is likely to render such influential practical service as Bloch's "Future of War," supplemented as it has been by his articles in the various reviews during the years since the work was first published.

The Future of War in Its Technical, Economic, and Political Relations
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the chilling realities of modern warfare, exploring the advancements in weaponry and tactics that have forever changed the face of battle. From the devastating power of long-range rifles and quick-firing artillery to the increasing importance of fortifications and guerilla tactics, the author paints a vivid picture of the carnage and destruction that future conflicts will bring. Drawing upon historical examples and meticulous analysis, the author argues that the very nature of war has been fundamentally altered. The days of massed cavalry charges and heroic battlefield clashes are fading into the past, replaced by a brutal and impersonal struggle for survival. With the advent of smokeless powder and advanced weaponry, even the most skilled and courageous soldiers face a staggering probability of being struck down. This book serves as a sobering wake-up call to the world, challenging us to confront the true cost of war in the modern era. It compels us to question the outdated notions of military glory and to recognize the devastating consequences that future conflicts will have on both soldiers and civilians alike. Ultimately, the author's insights leave us with a profound understanding of the urgent need to find alternative means of resolving international disputes and to prevent the senseless bloodshed that modern warfare inevitably brings.
