What Price Peace?

"What Price Peace?" by Frederick J. Libby is a pamphlet from the 1920s tackling widespread fears about war and promoting global peace. It challenges the idea that more weapons equal more safety, suggesting instead that peace comes from working together internationally. Libby champions organizations like the World Court and the League of Nations, seeing them as crucial for settling arguments peacefully. The book highlights the importance of unity, public opposition to war, and understanding between countries, while also cautioning about the risks of a growing arms race and the devastating impact of future global conflicts. It argues that education and cooperation are essential for building a future where peace is valued above all else, achieved through law and respect rather than military might.
