Solemn Review of the Custom of War: Showing That War Is the Effect of Popular Delusion, and Proposing a Remedy (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book analyzes war's historical roots and gruesome evolution, challenging the idea that war is inevitable and positing that a global peace is possible. The author shows how wars have been started for trivial reasons, often by ambitious or unjust leaders, and how they have led to horrific human suffering. The author draws parallels to current conflicts, arguing that the same forces driving war in the past are at play today. The author dissects the dehumanizing effects of war, the ways in which society becomes corrupted by its influence, and the ways in which individuals are forced to abandon their morals and commit atrocities. Though the author does not provide simplistic solutions, they believe that the world can move towards a more peaceful future. This book's historical and sociological insights make it an essential read for anyone seeking an understanding of this enduring global plague.
