Sinossi

Originally published in 1910, this is an anti-war book with superb illustrations, many military facts and figures about armament, weapons, and their effects. Decrying the practice of using young working class men as cannon-fodder while the wealthy who profit from war urge them to their "patriotic duty." An interesting presentation of anti-capitalist attitudes in the early 20th century, it was a socialist agitator's contribution to the peace-war controversy which immediately preceded the outbreak of the European war in July, 1914. About 150,000 copies had been printed when World War I began. Illustrated with photos and cartoons.
