Description
These nine essays from Toynbee’s A STUDY OF HISTORY gives us the author’s view on militarism.
Toynbee lived through two world wars and was a member of the peace commission following each. Thus he is alert to the dangers of martial thought. He believes that peace is never more fragile than when it is secured as a result of a successful war. That view alone makes WAR AND CIVILIZATION timely and relevant.
“As a philosopher of history, Toynbee stands head and shoulders above the rest. One of the most suggestive, stimulating and inspiring studies of this age.” (Los Angeles Times)
