Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Library of Peace War A few months ago prizes were offered by the Speaker for the best hundred books on Peace and War, and a number of excellent lists were sent in, evidently the fruit of much research and careful selection. Some of these it has been thought proper to reprint, so that they might be available for public and private libraries. It was suggested that I should write a brief introduction, and I gladly agreed to do so; for the subject is one in which I have long been deeply interested. I have added an index of authors. The formation of a good library on Peace and War is no easy task even for the rare and fortunate individual who combines wealth with industry and learning. There is, as Mr. Sturge observes, a scarcity of important books dealing specifically or mainly with the subject. Hence in the lists which follow many small pamphlets, and a certain quantity of rubbish, may be found. It is clear to my mind that the basis of a library on Peace and War should be historical. The works of Herodotus, and Thucydides, Tacitus, Gibbon,. Hume, Grote, Finlay, Carlyle, Macaulay, Freeman, and Green could hardly be omitted. In addition to the standard histories, among which I have only mentioned a few, there are many special histories and biographies that bear directly upon War.
