The War That Will End War [hardcover] by H.G. Wells

This is a 1914 novel written by H. G. Wells. Within it, wells writes passionately and with elegance about his conviction that World War I would be the war to end all wars. Although he was obviously and unfortunately wrong in his suppositions, his book makes a good case for his belief and is highly recommended for those interested in WWI. Contents include: “Why Britain Went to War”, “The Sword of Peace”, “Hands Off the People’s Food”, “Concerning Mr. Maximilian Craft”, “The Most Necessary Measures in the World”, “The Need of a New Map of Europe”, “The Opportunity of Liberalism”, “The Liberal Fear of Russia”, “An Appeal to the American People”, et cetera. Herbert George Wells (1866-1946) was a prolific English writer who wrote in a variety of genres, including the novel, politics, history, and social commentary. Today, he is perhaps best remembered for his contributions to the science fiction genre thanks to such novels as “The Time Machine” (1895), “The Invisible Man” (1897), and “The War of the Worlds” (1898)
