Sir Keith Hancock makes a four-pronged reconnaissance of
international relations and, consequently, the prospects of human
survival. He begins by discussing total war and 'small wars' and
considers the relevance of this discussion, particularly in its
economic aspects, to 'the cold war' and its costs. Sir Keith then
turns to treaty-making, and in particular to Smuts's experience at
Vereeniging in 1902 and Paris in 1919; he concludes that it is
impossible to make a satisfactory peace settlement in the aftermath
of total war, but that there are better prospects for negotiations
during the 'cold war'. He goes on to examine Gandhian non-violence,
particularly its origins in the Gandhi-Smuts conflict. He outlines
the limitations of Gandhi's techniques and suggests that although
they were successful against Smuts and Halifax, they would not
necessarily have succeeded against Hitler and Stalin: for
non-violence is not a substitute for military readiness. In his
final section, Sir Keith surveys the developing international
community and considers the present-day world in the perspective of
history.
