Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book highlights the inevitability of war as a means of settling international conflicts, despite increasing civilization and technological advancements. The author traces the history of war back to the origins of life, arguing that it is an innate instinct for survival and dominance. They explore the interconnectedness of violence and progress, and how preparation for war often leads to its occurrence. The book examines the concept of peace as a temporary cessation of hostilities, maintained through force, and discusses the role of morality and ethics in warfare. It argues that while war is inherently destructive, it can also have transformative effects, such as the formation of large societies and the advancement of technology. The author warns against complacency and the neglect of military preparedness, citing examples from history where nations declined due to weakness and inattention to their defenses. They emphasize the need for a strong and vigilant military to protect national interests and maintain a balance of power. Ultimately, this book provides a thought-provoking analysis of the nature of war and its place in human history. It challenges conventional wisdom about the morality and necessity of warfare, and offers insights into the complex relationship between conflict, power, and progress.
