[Front Dustwrapper]
'This is the most important book in support of real peace since the days of Tolstoy. It ranks with George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four as one of the two most important books to come out of the second World War. Mr. Veale shows how the extension of military operations to civilian populations and property, and the increasingly destructive nature of total warfare, menace the very future of humanity and Western civilization.
He makes it clear how the war-crimes trials, far from curbing the barbarism of present-day warfare, will make it absolutely certain that every known form of destructiveness and mass-murder, however fiendish and devastating, will surely be brought forth in the desperate effort to avoid a defeat which, in all future wars, will mean the summary liquidation of the political leaders and top military officers of the vanquished countries. This is a book of prime and immediate personal importance to every American, old and young alike.
