Justice in War-Time (Barnes & Noble Digital Library)

by Bertrand Russell

Overview

Published in 1916, in the midst of World War I, this courageous book dared to question contemporary patriotic shibboleths.  But more than just an angry response to the barbarity of a particular war, Russell's book probes deeply into the causes of war, when it is justified, and the prospects for avoiding it.
