Excerpt from The Problems of the Coming Peace
The sacrifices caused by the present war are enormous. The first nine months have cost the warring nations five millions in killed and wounded, not including those who were taken prisoners.* During the same period the expenditures of the principal warring nations amounted to Thousands of villages and cities were reduced to ruins; all that were spared by the artillery fire were de stroyed by trench digging; these were the traces which the hurricane of war left behind when it swept the country side. Famine, misery, contagious diseases followed the warring armies as jackals follow a caravan. The prosperity of nations which were leaders in civilizatory work has been ruined; ruined was also the happiness of millions of families from whom the war tore away father, husband and brother. Who will tell how many tears have been shed? Who will describe the suffering and the agony?

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book, drawing on global history and contemporary events from the great European War, critically analyzes the flawed treaties that ended previous conflicts and established a path to the current conflict. The author examines the nuances of nationalism and imperialism, particularly as these ideologies pertain to the complex geopolitical realities of the Ottoman Empire and the Balkans, revealing the enduring consequences of decisions that divided powers, sowed the seeds of new conflicts, and failed to establish lasting peace. The author exposes the dangers of prioritizing self-serving geopolitical ambitions over universally just solutions, a sin he argues persists in the current conflict. These insights make this book essential reading for understanding the profound challenges of establishing peace in our time.
