The Only Possible Peace (1919) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781165104420)

The Only Possible Peace is a book written by Frederic Clemson Howe in 1919. It is a political treatise that explores the causes of World War I and proposes a solution for achieving lasting peace. Howe argues that the war was caused by a combination of factors, including nationalism, imperialism, and militarism. He also criticizes the Treaty of Versailles, which he believes failed to address the root causes of the conflict and set the stage for future wars.In the book, Howe proposes a new system of international relations based on cooperation and disarmament. He advocates for the creation of a League of Nations, which would be responsible for mediating disputes between nations and preventing conflicts from escalating into war. Howe also calls for the reduction of military spending and the establishment of a system of collective security, in which nations commit to defending each other against aggression.Throughout the book, Howe draws on historical examples and contemporary events to support his arguments. He also includes a detailed analysis of the economic and social factors that contribute to war, such as poverty, inequality, and the arms race.Overall, The Only Possible Peace is a thought-provoking and insightful work that offers a unique perspective on the causes of war and the possibilities for achieving lasting peace.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
