The Case Of Going To War: Being A Fragment Of A Greater Work (1763) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781104909406)

The Case of Going to War: Being a Fragment of a Greater Work is a book written by Josiah Tucker in 1763. The book is a political treatise that argues against the idea of going to war. Tucker was a British economist and political philosopher who believed that war was a costly and unnecessary endeavor that did more harm than good. In the book, Tucker presents a case against war by examining the economic and social costs of conflict. He argues that war is a drain on resources and that the money spent on it could be better used to improve the lives of citizens. He also suggests that war leads to social disruption and undermines the stability of society. The book is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to a wide audience. It is divided into chapters that cover different aspects of the case against war, including the economic, social, and political consequences of conflict. Overall, The Case of Going to War is a thought-provoking and insightful work that challenges the idea that war is a necessary or desirable means of achieving political goals. It remains relevant today as nations continue to grapple with the question of when and how to use military force.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
