The war of Steel and Gold; a Study of the Armed Peace

More about the book

First published in 1914, The War of Steel and Gold is a seminal work on the politics of the pre-World War I era. The author, Henry Noel Brailsford, was a journalist and peace activist who argued that the arms race and imperialist policies of European nations were leading inevitably to war. This book is a fascinating insight into the thinking of the time and remains relevant today as a warning against the dangers of aggressive nationalism and militarism.
