(Nearly a lifetime of research and study by a veteran of W...)
Nearly a lifetime of research and study by a veteran of World War II revealsthe major political and military errors and mistakes which caused the greatest catastrophe in world history, almost lost the struggle with the greatest evil the world has ever known, failed to end the conflict in a decisive victory for the survival of freedom and democracy, subjected the world to almost half a century of fear and turmoil in the Cold War, and wasted vast world resources on armaments while hundreds of millions of people suffered from hunger, illness and death. This comprehensive analysis of the major issues and campaigns of World War II concentrates on what went wrong with the conduct of the war which needlessly prolonged its brutal end resulting in greatly increased suffering and death and shockingly reveals how desperately narrow was the margin between victory and defeat. The author convincingly concludes that only if nationalism yields to theenforcement of international law can the worldwide devastation of mass destruction be avoided. But the good news is that recent developments in international cooperation clearly indicates that the overwhelming majority of the nations of the world now recognize that world peace can only prevail under the enforcement of international law. Thus it is imperative that the United States must now exert the necessary leadership for the execution of a Treaty for ther Peaceful Settlement of International Disputes as the only effective means of maintaining world peace and avoiding a nuclear holocaust.

A World War II veteran and lifetime peace advocate provides the most comprehensive and up-to-date volume of quotations, articles and reports available regarding mankind's long and unsuccessful search for world peace, the horror and tragedy of continuing wars, and the awesome threat of mass destruction that endangers all of mankind. These commentaries and reports of leaders, authors and the media not only reveal the turmoil of today's world, but also the growing public demand for effective world government, the mandatory enforcement of international law for world peace, the worldwide extinction of terrorism, the victory of democracy over fanatic religious fundamentalism, and the elimination of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons of mass destruction. The Final Word is that the nations of the world must now establish and enforce law and order or perish in a nuclear holocaust.
