The Idea Of A League Of Nations (1919) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781437024555)

The Idea of a League of Nations, written by Herbert George Wells in 1919, is a book that explores the concept of an international organization that would promote peace and prevent future wars. Wells was a British author and political thinker who was deeply concerned with the devastation wrought by World War I and sought a solution to prevent future conflicts. In this book, he argues that a League of Nations could be established as a means of achieving this goal. Wells examines the historical context of the League of Nations, tracing its roots back to earlier attempts at creating international organizations. He also discusses the political and economic factors that led to the formation of the League, including the devastation of World War I and the desire to prevent future wars. The book explores the various proposals for the structure and function of the League of Nations, and Wells offers his own ideas on how it should be organized and what its goals should be. He argues that the League should have the power to enforce its decisions and that it should promote disarmament and international cooperation. Overall, The Idea of a League of Nations is an important historical document that sheds light on the political and intellectual climate of the early 20th century. It is a thought-provoking exploration of the idea of international cooperation and the quest for peace in a world torn apart by war.In Collaboration With Viscount Grey, Lionel Curtis, William Archer, H.
