"Never Again! A Protest and a Warning Addressed to the Peoples of Europe" by Edward Carpenter is a stirring cry for peace issued during a time of global conflict, specifically World War I. The book serves as both an observation of social and political issues, challenging everyone to recognize the innate mercilessness of war and its devastating effects. Filled with urgency, the author argues that humanity is at a crossroads and must choose between persistent conflict and peaceful coexistence. The book highlights the heart-wrenching pain and senselessness of war by showing the bonds soldiers form even with people they are told are the "enemy," emphasizing the need for empathy, collective action, and unity among the people, rather than allegiance to selfish governments seeking conflict. Overall, this passionate work is a vivid depiction of war's brutality and a call for a future built on understanding, love and peace.
