"In this book, I tried not to portray war in a negative light - a phenomenon to which I was previously completely indifferent, seeing it as something alien to me. Now I understand the power of the demons of the past even over us, the people of the new era," writes Georg Nikolai (1874-1964) - a German professor, physiologist, and doctor of medicine. In his research, G. Nikolai presents facts from the history of wars in Ancient Greece, Rome, medieval and modern Europe, Russia, and China. He tries to understand how the warlike instincts awaken in people, leading them to war, how war affects the state, society, and individuals, why entire nations under the influence of militarism turn, as Nikolai says, 'into a semi-idiotic breed of cave people.' Can these consequences of war be overcome, and is peace possible without war at all? The author answers these questions based on the physiological, social, and moral qualities of human beings."
