War

"War: Its Causes, Consequences and Cure" is a profound examination of the structural and ideological roots of global conflict. Written in the immediate aftermath of the First World War, Kirby Page provides a detailed analysis of the economic, political, and social forces that drive nations toward militarism. The work delves into the devastating impact of modern warfare on society, ethics, and human progress, arguing that the cycle of violence can only be broken through a fundamental shift in international relations and personal convictions.

Page explores the intricate web of nationalism, imperialism, and secret diplomacy that contributed to the Great War, offering a sobering look at the human and material costs. More than just a critique, the book proposes practical and moral cures for war, emphasizing the importance of international cooperation, disarmament, and the pursuit of social justice. As a significant contribution to the early 20th-century peace movement, this volume remains a poignant reflection on the necessity of non-violence and the challenges of building a stable, peaceful world order. It serves as an essential resource for those interested in the history of pacifism, international ethics, and the evolution of anti-war thought during a pivotal era in global history.
