Washington and the Hope of Peace; Or, Washington and the Riddle of Peace

This volume contains a collection of twenty-nine papers written by H. G. Wells. The essays first appeared in the 'New York World', the 'Chicago Tribune', and many other American and European papers. They primarily concern post-war international politics, and would be of considerable utility to those with an interest in the subject. The essays include: 'The Immensity of the Issue', 'Armaments - The futility of Mere Limitation', 'The Trail of Versailles - Two Great Powers are Silent and Absent', 'The Unknown Soldier of the Great War', 'The President at Arlington', 'The First Meeting', and more. Herbert George Wells (1866 - 1946) was a seminal English writer whose notable works include 'The War of the Worlds' (1897) and 'The Time Machine' (1895). Many vintage texts such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now, in an affordable, high-quality, modern edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned biography of the author.
