Förlagets beskrivning
Excerpt from Among the World's Peacemakers, an Epitome of the Interparliamentary UnionI have been honored by being asked to write a short introduction to this book, which gives the history of the Interparliamentary movement to advance the cause of International Peace, since the day I had the honor of introducing to President Cleveland the British Parliamentary delegates, with Mr. Cremer at their head.It is a record calculated to encourage all of us who see in War the foulest stain that now disgraces our civilization.The Duke of Wellington, a man almost of our own age, in storming San Sebastian permitted pillage and no quarter for the defenders. In justification of his conduct, the Duke said: "I believe it has always been understood that the defenders of a fortress stormed have no right to quarter. It had fallen to my lot to take many towns by storm. I never saw or heard of one so stormed that was not plundered." Happily the world has emerged from such savagery, and we have many provisions for mitigating the horrors of War, and are on the way to its ultimate abolition.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
