    About this ebook

    The End of War is a study of war and the possibility of peace. In the past empires used war and the threat of war as a way to dominate and exploit others, but in the modern world that is no longer possible. A new multi-lateral world is emerging where all nations will be required to ensure peace. Wars are diminishing but it will require a major effort if we are to go the final step to bring an end to the violence.
