Excerpt from The Problem of War and Its Solution
The intention behind these pages is to demolish this fatalistic doctrine and to substitute a reasonable theory more in accordance with the facts. As might be expected, once the real factors of the problem are known the solution is at hand for those who are not dismayed by the bogies of tradition.
At this time when all earnest men are looking for a stable foundation upon which the edifice of a durable peace may be erected, my hope is that this book will usefully contribute towards the attainment of their desires. Criticism, hostile or otherwise, is welcome, because honest discussion speeds the day when there shall be peace on earth and good will towards men.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book questions prevailing fatalistic beliefs surrounding war and its perceived inevitability, arguing instead that war is the result of human failings that can be overcome. The author bases their argument on the idea that many commonly held beliefs about war, such as its necessity for evolution and its foundation in human nature, are myths. It is suggested that war is instead a product of social and political problems that can be solved through human ingenuity. The book delves into the history of war to trace its origins and evolution, examining social, economic, and political factors that have contributed to its persistence. Through this analysis, the author provides not only a critique of war but also a vision of a more peaceful world, highlighting the profound significance of understanding the causes of war in order to prevent it. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
