This series of essays sums up the authors philosophy towards the problem of war and peace. His view is that our troubles are largely of our own making.  Mr. Housman shows how peace and happiness are attainable. 

Well written, readable, closely and interestingly argued, these essays offer a coherent and tenable philoosophy for the ordinary man.
