📘 War and Civilization by Arnold J. Toynbee

Los ensayos recogidos en *Guerra y civilización* de Toynbee nos dan la opinión del autor sobre el militarismo. Toynbee vivió dos guerras mundiales y fue miembro de la comisión de paz después de cada una. Por eso está alerta a los peligros del pensamiento marcial. Creía que la paz nunca era más frágil que cuando se asegura como resultado de una guerra exitosa. Solo ese punto de vista hace que la guerra y la civilización sean oportunas y relevantes.
