Board of education label pasted inside front cover, text otherwise clean and tight, no marks, lightly tanned. "Becuase boys and girls now in our high schools know war mainly from reminiscence, story, and motion pictures, this book begins with a section which highlights the immediate horrors of modern combat. Only if they know this wastefulness can they sense the urgency of youth's adequately preparing itself for solving the problems that might result in war. The second section has two purposes. On the one hand, it points out patiently those moments of history after World War I when mankind mistakenly took the easier ways of appeasement and materialism in dealing with international crises. On the other hand, it indicates the glorious opportunity that has been given humankind to try its hand again at the task of creating a world of peace and amity." (from the Introduction).
