The author believes that the nations of today have the means to hold Militarism at bay until they work out a method of settling their conflicts without resort to War. Arnold Joseph Toynbee CH FBA (14 April 1889 - 22 October 1975) was a British historian, a philosopher of history, an author of numerous books and a research professor of international history at the London School of Economics and King's College in the University of London. Toynbee in the 1918-1950 period was a leading specialist on international affairs. He is best known for his 12-volume A Study of History (1934-1961). With his prodigious output of papers, articles, speeches and presentations, and numerous books translated into many languages, Toynbee was a widely read and discussed scholar in the 1940s and 1950s. Albert Vann Fowler was born in Syracuse, NY, in 1904. He earned an A.B. in History from Haverford College in 1927 and pursued graduate level studies in Psychology and Journalism at Columbia University from 1927 to 1928. As a committed pacifist, Albert V. Fowler joined the Fellowship of Reconciliation, and in 1940 became a member of the Society of Friends. A Study of History and this selected from it were issued under the auspices of the Royal Institute of International Affairs. The Royal Institute of International Affairs is an unofficial and non-political body, founded in 1920 to encourage and facilitate the scientific study of international questions. The Institute, as such, was precluded by its rules from expressing an opinion on any aspect of international affairs; opinions expressed in this book are, therefore, purely individual. Presumed First U.S. Edition and first printing thus.
