This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a case that permanent world peace is possible, even likely, if mankind harnesses the power of ongoing civilizing influences. The author argues that the nature of war has changed dramatically from the brutal, personal conflicts of the feudal era to the impersonal, state-sanctioned violence of today. This transformation has been accompanied by an increase in the economic burden of war, fueled by the escalating costs of modern weaponry and the diversion of resources away from productive pursuits. The author also examines the expanding influence of mass media in revealing the true horrors of war, the growing power of public opinion in limiting the ability of governments to wage war, and the increasing interconnectedness of the world through trade and travel, which fosters cooperation and understanding among nations. The author concludes that these trends, combined with the rise of liberal political principles, philosophical theories, and religious ideas that prioritize peace, provide compelling reasons to believe that war can be abolished and replaced with a world characterized by harmony and cooperation. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
