Since the beginning of modern warfare, one of the favorite
crusades of the international peacemakers has been toward
disarmament. This book investigates the British origin of the
disarmament idea--from World War I through the signing of the
Treaty of Versailles. It traces the development of disarmament as a
war aim, with special reference to the influence of British Liberal
thought, and President Wilson's acceptance of disarmament as one of
his Fourteen Points.
Disarmament is related to the other Allied war aims and to the
Liberal and Labor parties during the war period. Particular
attention is paid to the influence of public opinion and the
British press. Neither an attack on nor an apology for the fiasco
which followed, this is a lucid analysis of the events, tensions,
personalities, and self-interests which led to the failure of an
ideal.
