Publisher's Synopsis
In this remarkable memoir Nicholas Hagger reflects on war and peace and on âpeace for our timeâ, Chamberlainâs haunting words in 1938 that ushered in the Second World War. Peace then turned out to be an illusion shattered by the outbreak of hostilities. Will world peace again turn out to be an illusion? With a lightness of touch Nicholas Hagger addresses the burning issue of our time â whether a new world structure can avert a new world war â and unveils a vision of a better, safer world for our grandchildren. This stimulating work will fascinate and inspire a new generation looking beyond nation-state self-interest to world unity.
