Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book meticulously explores the root causes of conflict and endless wars of the past, claiming that wars today are a result of the influence of financiers and concession seekers. The author argues that private interests, fueled by the search for profits, have drawn many countries into distant lands, creating conflict with other nations. Diplomatic efforts have been sidelined as these private groups align with foreign ministries, leading to diplomatic controversies and ultimately war. The book incorporates the author's analysis of British penetration into Egypt and Africa, French aggressions in Algeria, Tunis, and Morocco, the partition of Persia by Russia and England, German relations with Turkey, and the struggle for the Bagdad Railway as evidence of his perspective. The author contends that the same forces that drew Europe into conflict are now present in the United States. He cautions that while war might seem distant, the dangers are real and must be anticipated and defended against. This well-researched and thoroughly documented book offers a compelling perspective on the role of private interests in fostering war and provides valuable insights into the importance of safeguarding against these influences.
