The Extinction In Perpetuity Of Armaments And War (1908) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781437294620)

The Extinction In Perpetuity Of Armaments And War is a book written by Albert William Alderson in 1908. The book is a call for the complete and permanent abolition of armaments and war. Alderson argues that war is a destructive force that has caused untold suffering throughout history, and that the only way to prevent future wars is to eliminate the means by which they are fought. He proposes a number of measures to achieve this goal, including the establishment of an international court to settle disputes between nations, the creation of a world police force to enforce the court's decisions, and the establishment of a world government to oversee the entire process. Alderson also argues that the elimination of war would lead to greater prosperity and social progress, as resources currently devoted to armaments could be redirected towards education, healthcare, and other social programs. The book is a powerful and thought-provoking critique of war and its impact on human society, and remains relevant to this day.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
