The Problem of Armaments (Hardcover)

Hardcover. "The Problem of Armaments" provides a comprehensive and meticulous examination of the complex relationship between national security, military spending, and the pursuit of global peace. Written in the transformative period following the First World War, Arthur Guy Enock offers a deep dive into the economic and social burdens imposed by the competitive accumulation of weaponry. The work presents a compelling analysis of statistical data regarding war expenditures and explores the psychological consequences of militarism on international diplomacy.The book argues that disarmament is not merely a moral ideal but a practical economic necessity for the preservation of modern civilization. Enock evaluates the historical context of arms races and the contemporary challenges of the early 20th century, seeking to understand how humanity might transition away from a reliance on armed conflict. This work remains a vital historical resource for those interested in the history of peace movements, arms control, and the intellectual climate of the interwar years.
