Heroes of Peace

Excerpt from Heroes of PeaceThe belief that lingers in school-books and newspapers that war is the mother of the higher virtues will never yield to a frontal attack. It must be fought, as intemperance must be fought, by counter-attractions, by building up a rival ideal. The qualities which have won it a reputa tion as a school of patriotism must be shown at work in the service of other and nobler causes.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
