Product Description

Writing before, during and just after World War I, G. K. Chesterton describes what has gone wrong with Germany and warns that, if Germany is not forced to reform, that war will be followed by another and more horrible war. In these 111 articles, Chesterton criticizes militarism and debates the paths to peace being advocated by pacifists and internationalists. He also harshly criticizes a then-fashionable form of racism that would later be adopted by Nazism, making him one of Hitler's first foes. These articles are extensively commented and footnoted to explain the context in which Chesterton wrote. In the back are appendices with articles on war and peace by Thomas Acquinas, Winston Churchill, Norman Angell, Bernard Shaw, Bertrand Russell, Mahatma Gandhi, and H. G. Wells

5.0 out of 5 stars Chesterton finally got what he needed...an editor, Nov 29 2011

By Katherine Kelly "Katherine" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Chesterton on War and Peace: Battling the Ideas and Movements That Led to Nazism and World War II (Hardcover)

The one thing that irked me when reading Chesterton was the deep need he had for an editor. Michael W. Perry has done a fantastic job. The many references are laid out clearly, giving a reader a much deeper knowledge of events of the time. This is an insightful, excellent book. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to better understand the world we are in now, and it roots in the past.
