### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ As Relevant Today As Ever - A Great Brief Book By A Great Man
*by F***Y on January 18, 2019*

This is a great book, brief, almost an essay as much as a book, by a great man. The book is distinctly anti war. The author is a career military man. The book was written in 1935, just before the beginning of World War II. I feel it is very important for every American to read and contemplate books like this at this time in our history.George Washington admonished us not to become entangled in foreign intrigues. Somewhere along the way, about the time Theodore Roosevelt became president, we began to materially deviate from that advice. Certainly the world has become more complicated, but is there another way besides unending conflict?This book includes a brief description of how we became entangled in World War I. I have read several books by Henry Kissinger. I hope I am not mistaken in which book, but I think it is "Diplomacy", wherein Henry Kissinger examines the thinking and rationale of Woodrow Wilson, in entering the United States in World War I. It is well worth thinking about.Tony Jundt, another historian, in his book "Postwar: A History of Europe Since 1945", goes on to describe World War II as the continuation of another European "Thirty Years War". This, of course, is because negotiations ending World War I were botched. Again, this is a notion worthy of serious contemplation.In any event I greatly appreciated having the chance to read this book. I purchased the accompanying audiobook and read both simultaneously. The narrator is William Dougan. Mister Dougan is generally very professional. However number amounts in the book are in actual numbers and Mister Dougan repeatedly conflated trillions with billions. That, of course, is not the main point of the book. But as a "numbers kind of guy" I found it slightly distracting. If you only listen to the audiobook, allow for this. If that is too persnickety, I truly apologize. Thank You...

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ an amazing read

War is indeed a racket. One of the better pieces of writing I've come across this year.
