WINDS OF WAR | |
According to the FOREWORD: " The Winds of War is fiction, and all the characters and adventures involving the Henry family are imaginary. " WORLD EMPIRE LOST, the military treatise by "Armin von Roon," is of course an invention from start to finish. " Industrialized armed force, the curse that now presses so heavily and so ominously on us all, came to full flower in the Second World War. The effort to free ourselves of it begins with the effort to understand how it came to haunt us, and how it was that men of good will gave - and still give - their lives to it. The theme and aim of THE WINDS OF WAR can be found in a few words by the French Jew, Julien Benda: It will not be the abstaining from an act, but the coming of a state of mind. In this sense the most insignificant writer can serve peace, where the most powerful tribunals can do nothing. " This book is in good condition with some normal wear to the cover. | |
