  • Ken McCarthy
    5.0 out of 5 stars A very relevant book for today
    Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2023
    Verified Purchase
    Among other things, this book is an account of how the vibrant and broad-based anti-war movement which followed the mindless carnage of World War I was systematically undermined by clever and industrious agents of the arms industry. There's a lot of money in making weapons and without wars, weapons tend to stack up. Cousins sheds a light on the legions of people who use their intelligence to promote mayhem so their paymasters can draw down their inventories and get the order forms full again.

    Cousins is a superlative writer. Though his socialist bent casts a shadow across his powerful writing, truth as usual outs the cult.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Cousins gets to the core of the meaning of political power
    Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2018
    Verified Purchase
    Though he did not specifically refer to political power Cousins revealed both the problems that power creates and suggested specific ways to address the abuse of power. My most cherished historical ideas are presented in the Declaration of Independence where the authors (a committee of 5) pointed out that the only true purpose of government is to secure natural rights. Cousins focuses on this at the end of the book and points out that government evolves in the direction of failure to secure natural rights...because of the opportunity presented by power itself. When it comes to war, hunger, international human problems and relations, he believed that human beings could create institutions which would require the nations of the world to adhere to Law.
