The Origin of the Next War: A Study in the Tensions of the Modern World (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781025884585)

"The Origin of the Next War a Study in the Tensions of the Modern World" is a profound analysis of the geopolitical and social stresses that threatened global peace in the decade following the First World War. John Bakeless examines the underlying causes of international conflict, focusing on the friction points created by economic competition, territorial disputes, and shifting national alliances. Writing with a keen eye for detail, Bakeless provides a prescient look at the volatile political landscape of the early 20th century, identifying the specific tensions-from population pressures to the struggle for natural resources-that could potentially trigger a second global conflagration.

This work serves as an important historical document, offering insight into how intellectuals and political analysts perceived the fragile state of world affairs during the interwar period. By dissecting the failures of diplomacy and the persistence of nationalistic ambitions, the author creates a compelling study of the mechanics of war and the complexities of maintaining international order. "The Origin of the Next War" remains a valuable resource for students of history and political science seeking to understand the precursors to mid-century global conflicts and the persistent nature of international rivalry.
