About This Book
The author surveys rising international suspicion and conflict, diagnosing economic, territorial, and military pressures that drive aggression and undermine peace. She critiques simplistic disarmament proposals, examines defense needs versus social spending, and explains how disparities in standards of living, trade barriers, and resource distribution shape national behavior. Organized into diagnostics, long-term objectives, practical immediate steps, and a concluding summary, the text weighs realistic policy options — from collective security arrangements to domestic education and economic adjustments — and urges public engagement, pragmatic diplomacy, and moral responsibility as necessary components of any durable plan for reducing hostilities.
