About This Book

The author presents a series of essays that explain the immediate causes of the conflict and argue for its purpose to dismantle militaristic Prussian influence rather than to punish a people. He links the invasion of small neutral states to treaty obligations, criticizes the armaments industry and the corruption of public life, and calls for decisive victory that enables disarmament and a rearranged European order. Practical proposals address home-front measures, food supply, and diplomatic realignment, while appeals to liberalism and to foreign publics urge a peace that prevents future wars and reshapes international institutions.

About the Author

Wells, H. G. portrait

H. G. Wells

Herbert George Wells (1866-1946) was an English writer and social commentator, renowned for his contributions to science fiction and social criticism. Often referred to as the 'father of science fiction,' Wells explored themes of technology, society, and human nature in his works. His notable titles include "The War of the Worlds," which depicts an alien invasion, and "The Time Machine," a pioneering narrative that delves into time travel. In addition to fiction, Wells wrote extensively on contemporary issues, as seen in works like "An Englishman Looks at the World." His literary legacy continues to influence writers and thinkers, making him a significant figure in both literature and social thought.
