A clear, practical case for a modern American program that blends preparation with principled diplomacy.
This edition argues that peace and security come from smart arms, not shadows of fear.
In this nonfiction work, the author lays out how arbitration, international law, and a capable national defense can work together. It argues that America should be prepared, but not for conquest—for enforcing laws, protecting citizens, and guiding the world toward just solutions.
The book surveys the history of arbitration, the role of the Permanent Court at The Hague, and the tensions between diplomacy and military strength. It asks readers to weigh costs, values, and the moral stakes of preparedness in a twenty‑first century republic.
- How arbitration has solved past disputes and what that means for today’s conflicts
- Why a robust, prepared military can support diplomacy and justice
- The balance between national security, economic cost, and ethical standards
- Examples of how industries, governance, and policy intersect with defense needs
Ideal for readers of policy, history, and civic essays who want a balanced view of American security and international law.
