Excerpt from The Passing of War: A Study in Things That Make for Peace
Chapter XIII, Wars of Defence and Liberation, is a concession to the curiously prevalent opinion that the abstract goodness of war may be validly argued from exceptional cases. These were previously excluded because such conflicts (as for instance the Balkan revolt) lie Outside the category of war in its fundamental and initial aspect which is the chief concern of civilisation and the subject proper to this book.
Chapter XIV, War and Character, contains several sentences which had place in the book from the first. These bear witness against one or two critics who charged me with total neglect of the militarist contention that the passing of war would involve national decadence.
