World-renowned philosopher Bertrand Russell confronts the age-old question: Why do men fight? In this incisive treatise, he challenges the very foundations of warfare, exposing its irrational roots and the psychological delusions that sustain it. With razor-sharp logic, Russell dismantles the myths of patriotism, national sovereignty, and militaristic glory, calling for a profound shift in how we organize society. As tensions rise and the drums of war beat louder, Russell's bold vision offers a radical path to lasting peace.
