Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Programme for Peace
The war caught us unprepared. Shall peace, which some of our political Wiseacres aver will come as a thief in the night, finds us also unprepared? Our unpreparedness, they say, was the best proof of the purity of our pacific intent ions. It was also a proof of the sleepy gullibility of our statesmen. On that point much will presently have to be said, and the brows of those who, being watchmen, failed to watch.
