Originally published in 1938, this book consists of a group of
papers considering widely different subjects, but all bearing upon
one social problem - the causation and prevention of war. The
authors all occupy the same general political position, they are
democratic socialists and active members of the Labour Party. The
book falls into three rough divisions, although all the papers are
self-contained. The first part of the book is psychological and
attempts to summarise and analyse the non-historical evidence
(ecological, psychological, and anthropological) about the causes
of fighting. The second part is historical. It surveys the
different causes of international war in the nineteenth century and
then discusses the relation between nationalism and capitalism
during the same period. The third part is political and first
considers the relation of the use of force to the preservation of
peace. Then analyses the choices of foreign policy for a pacific
power confronted by the threat of aggressive military dictatorship.
It concludes with a review and assessment of the various available
policies for the prevention of war in general and under the
specific contemporary conditions of the time.
