In this innovative account of the origins of the idea of the League
of Nations, Sakiko Kaiga casts new light on the pro-League of
Nations movement in Britain in the era of the First World War,
revealing its unexpected consequences for the development of the
first international organisation for peace. Combining
international, social, intellectual history and international
relations, she challenges two misunderstandings about the role of
the movement: that their ideas about a league were utopian and that
its peaceful ideal appealed to the war-weary public. Kaiga
demonstrates how the original post-war plan consisted of both
realistic and idealistic views of international relations, and
shows how it evolved and changed in tandem with the war. She
provides a comprehensive analysis of the unknown origins of the
League of Nations and highlights the transformation of
international society and of ideas about war prevention in the
twentieth century to the present.
