A Substitute For War (1915)

By Percy MacKaye

Book Overview

A Substitute For War is a book written by Percy Mackaye and first published in 1915. The book is a collection of essays and speeches that propose an alternative to war as a means of resolving conflicts between nations. Mackaye argues that war is a primitive and destructive way of settling disputes, and that there are better ways to achieve peace and justice. He suggests that nations should work together to establish international laws and institutions that can mediate disputes and prevent conflicts from escalating into war. Mackaye also advocates for the use of diplomacy, negotiation, and arbitration as peaceful alternatives to war. The book is a thoughtful and persuasive argument for a more peaceful world, and its ideas are still relevant today.And With Preparatory Letters By Norman Angell.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
