Synopsis

War What For? is a book written by George R. Kirkpatrick that explores the reasons behind wars and their impact on humanity. The author argues that wars are often fought for reasons that are not justifiable and that the consequences of war are far-reaching and devastating. Kirkpatrick examines various historical conflicts and analyzes the underlying causes, such as greed, power, and ideology. He also explores the psychological effects of war on soldiers and civilians, including trauma and PTSD. The book offers a thought-provoking perspective on the nature of war and its impact on society. It is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of war and its effects on humanity.1910. Kirkpatrick writes in the preface: This book is written to help instruct and rouse the working class; and if in some small measure this unpretentious book carries light to the brains of my younger brothers on the big steel battleships, in the barren gloomy barracks, and to my abused and cheated brother (and sisters) in the mills and mines and on the farms-and thus helps stir my class to a consciousness of their class and thus helps advance the demand for justice and the demand for a reconstructed, socialized society, my reward will seem abundant.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
