Dive into the thought-provoking insights of H.G. Wells as he explores the First World War and its far-reaching consequences. In this compelling analysis, Wells presents powerful arguments that resonate even today, shedding light on the corruption and human cost experienced by Britain and Germany during the conflict. Despite the irony of his title, given the subsequent rise of the Second World War just two decades later, Wells passionately informed the public at a time when newspapers were the primary source of news—long before the age of radio and television. This work stands as a historical testament to the complexities and tragedies of the 1914-1918 era, encouraging listeners to reflect on the lessons learned from this tumultuous period. - Summary by Peter Thomlinson
