Hardcover. xii, [1], 165 p.; 21.5 cm. From the editor's preface: `Only here and there throughout the course of the six volumes of A Study of History does Mr. Toynbee assume the role of prophet, pointing out to his fellows the grave consequences of their acts and calling them to repent of their waywardness. When some of these scattered passages are culled out and fitted together and brought to bear on the single problem of War in our contemporary life, Mr. Toynbee stands forth in the full power and eloquence of his prophetic role. Here he is examining in the long perspective of the past the present situation of living nations as they face the mounting menace of Militarism, and what he says about them is sharply alive and touches all of us to the quick. His comments are disturbing and are meant to disturb. The statesman, the soldier, the teacher, and pacifist--all are stirred to consider the question of War in a new light.' (p. [v]) -- Conclusion to Toynbee's preface: `Mankind's past successes in bringing once sovereign independent States into voluntary union with one another are guarantees that we possess the experience and technique for achieving the great work of political construction that is now demanded of us. We have the ability if we have the will. Our fate lies in our own hands.' (p. xii) Good lt. spotted orig red cloth.
