9781331226239: The Round Table, Vol. 3

Synopsis

This insightful book explores the historically elusive dream of abolishing war, from the earliest known conflicts to the persistent movements of the present day. The author argues that due to the deep-rooted causes of war, its prevention thus far has proven an impossible task, and disarms the common misconception that peace will merely replace war. By meticulously examining prominent arbitration methods and peace treaties, the author demonstrates that true peace is dependent on voluntary agreements and is challenging to achieve, as the choice to resort to war always remains with the sovereign parties. Ultimately, this book provides invaluable insights into the complexities of war and peace, emphasizing that the path to a warless world remains a distant aspiration.
