Synopsis "The Fallacy of Conquest: International Peace"
The Fallacy of Conquest: International Peace is a thought-provoking book written by Nathaniel Peffer. This book explores the concept of conquest and its impact on international peace. Peffer argues that the idea of conquest is a fallacy that has been perpetuated throughout history, and that it is time for us to move beyond this outdated notion.The book begins by examining the history of conquest, from the ancient empires of Rome and Greece to the modern-day conquests of the United States. Peffer argues that conquest has never truly brought peace, but rather has led to more conflict and violence. He also explores the psychological and sociological factors that drive conquest, such as nationalism, greed, and the desire for power.Peffer then goes on to propose an alternative to conquest: international cooperation. He argues that by working together, nations can achieve true peace and prosperity. He examines successful examples of international cooperation, such as the European Union and the United Nations, and argues that these organizations should be strengthened and expanded.Throughout the book, Peffer draws on a wide range of historical and contemporary examples to support his arguments. He also provides practical recommendations for how individuals and nations can work towards international peace.Overall, The Fallacy of Conquest: International Peace is a thought-provoking and insightful book that challenges readers to rethink their assumptions about conquest and international relations. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the pursuit of peace and justice in our world.International Conciliation, No. 318, March, 1936.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
