Excerpt from Solemn Review of the Custom of War: Showing That War Is the Effect of Popular Delusion, and Proposing a Remedy
But, says the objector, in determining the question, whether war is now the effect of delusion, we must consider what man kind are, and not what they would have been, had wars never been introduced.

Excerpt from Solemn Review of the Custom of War: Showing That War Is the Effect of Popular Delusion, and Proposing a Remedy
"Shall the sword devour forever?"
We regard with horror the custom of the ancient heathens in offering their children in sacrifice to idols. We are shocked with the customs of the Hindoos, in prostrating themselves before the car of an idol to be crushed to death: in burning women alive on the funeral piles of their husbands; in offering a monthly sacrifice, by casting living children into the Ganges to be drowned. We read with astonishment of the sacrifices made in the papal crusades, and in the Mahometan and Hindoo pilgrimages. We wonder at the blindness of christian nations, who have esteemed it right and honorable to buy and sell Africans as property, and reduce them to bondage for life. But that which is fashionable and popular in a country is esteemed right and honorable, whatever may be its nature in the views of men better informed.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes war's historical roots and gruesome evolution, challenging the idea that war is inevitable and positing that a global peace is possible. The author shows how wars have been started for trivial reasons, often by ambitious or unjust leaders, and how they have led to horrific human suffering. The author draws parallels to current conflicts, arguing that the same forces driving war in the past are at play today. The author dissects the dehumanizing effects of war, the ways in which society becomes corrupted by its influence, and the ways in which individuals are forced to abandon their morals and commit atrocities. Though the author does not provide simplistic solutions, they believe that the world can move towards a more peaceful future. This book's historical and sociological insights make it an essential read for anyone seeking an understanding of this enduring global plague. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781330607787_0
