War And The Future - Paperback

War And The Future is a non-fiction book written by H. G. Wells, originally published in 1917. The book is a collection of essays and lectures that Wells gave during World War I, discussing the impact of the war on society and the future of civilization. Wells argues that the war is not simply a conflict between nations, but a struggle between old and new ideas. He believes that the old ideas of nationalism and imperialism are responsible for the war and that the future of humanity depends on the adoption of new ideas such as internationalism and cooperation.The book also explores the role of technology in modern warfare and the potential for future advancements in weapons and communication. Wells predicts the development of new weapons such as tanks and airplanes, and discusses the impact of these technologies on the conduct of war.In addition to his analysis of the war, Wells also offers his vision for the future of society. He advocates for the establishment of a world government and the elimination of national borders, arguing that only through cooperation and unity can humanity avoid future conflicts.Overall, War And The Future is a thought-provoking and insightful examination of the impact of war on society and the potential for a better future through the adoption of new ideas and technologies.The mountain warfare of Italy is extraordinarily unlike that upon any other front. From the Isonzo to the Swiss frontier we are dealing with high mountains, cut by deep valleys between which there is usually no practicable lateral communication. Each advance must have the nature of an unsupported shove along a narrow channel.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
