Chesterton on War and Peace: Battling the Ideas and Movements That Led to Nazism and World War II Paperback - 2008

by G. K. Chesterton; Michael W. Perry (Editor); Contribution by Winston S. Churchill


From the publisher

Includes 111 articles that Chesterton wrote for the Illustrated London News between 1905 and 1922, along with extensive introductions and notes to make the background of the articles clear. Also includes bibliographical references, an index and articles on preventing war by some of Chesterton's contemporaries.

First line

My initial plan for this book was to include between two covers virtually everything Chesterton wrote about war before 1923. That soon proved impractical, if not impossible. Chesterton was a prolific writer and during the First World War he focused his enormous energy on writing about the fighting from almost every angle. A draft of this book was approaching a thousand pages, without many clarifying notes, when good sense dictated I narrow the focus. Once that decision was made, the next step was obvious. I would pick the best of the best. This book is built around a careful selection from the articles Chesterton wrote for “Our Note-Book,” his weekly column in the Illustrated London News. Before radio and television, the Illustrated London News was highly influential, reaching a large audience throughout Britain, across Europe, and in the United States. The articles you see here were chosen for their historical importance and their lasting relevance to today’s debates about war and peace.
