( This examination of the history of the 20th century and...)
This examination of the history of the 20th century and the place of war in its unfolding presents a radical, unorthodox interpretation of both. With provision for seeing 1945 as the proper starting point for the 20th century and 1968 as the year that marked the end of the Age of Reason, this provocative study portrays the First World War as the first war of the 20th century and the Second World War as the last war of the 19th. It also provides a counterview of the Second World War as merely one part of a series of conflicts that lasted between 1931 and 1975 and the Cold War as the time when real hatreds were suspended. Moving through various insurgency campaigns, Willmott subjects the Gulf campaign of 1991 to skeptical analysis that is certain to be contentious. Challenging the view that the 20th century will be viewed by future historians as ranging from approximately 1914 to 1992, Willmott offers this volume as a counter to modern historiography which, he contends, is obsessed with micro-analysis and has lost vital context and perspective. Arguing that war is not the preserve of the intellect, and that it is neither intrinsically rational nor scientific, Willmott depicts war as a manmade phenomenon, complete with all the elements of human failure, misjudgment, and incompetence. He concludes with a consideration of modern doctrine and predictions for the future of war.

(In presenting to the public The Revised New Testament and...)
In presenting to the public The Revised New Testament and History of Revision, a few introductory words are eminently proper. Never before have so many eminent Biblical scholars engaged in any one work, as have engaged in the revision movement of this day. Never before have so many denominations labored together for the attainment of a pure version of the Word of God. Never has a work of this character been pursued with such deliberate and systematic effort; and never has so general an interest been awakened in anything pertaining to the Scriptures. Work upon the Old Testament isadvancing slowly, but cannot be completed for several years yet, at best. The New Testament work was finished several months ago, and now for the first time, it is given to the world. The expectation cherished for ten years is therefore about to be realized in part. What is undoubtedly the best version of the New Testament ever made, is now available to the English-speaking people. The only editions of this revision, issued by the Revisers, or under their direct indorsement, are printed by the University presses of Cambridge and Oxford, England.

(A collection of one man's essays in book form tends to be...)
A collection of one man's essays in book form tends to be viewed today with some suspicion, if not hostility, by philosophical critics. It would seem that the author is guilty of an academic sin of pride: causing or helping to cause separately conceived articles to surpass their original station and assume a new life, a grander articulation. It can hardly be denied that the essays which follow must face this sullen charge, for they were composed at different times for different sorts of audiences and, for the most part, have already been published. Their appearance in a new form will not allay commonplace criticisms: there are repetitions, certain key terms are defined and defined again in various places, a few quotations reappear, and, beyond this, the essays are unequal in range, depth, and fundamental intent. But it is what brings these essays together that constitutes, I trust, their collective merit. Underlying the special arguments that are to be found in each of the chapters is a particular sense of reality, not a thesis or a theory but rather a way of seeing the world and of appreciating its texture and design. It is that sense of reality that I should like to speak of here. Philosophy stands in a paradoxical relationship to mundane ex istence: it is at once its critique and one of its possibilities.
