Description

Originally published in 1919, this book argues that the origins of the First World War were fundamentally rooted in 'the defective moral standards and moral education of the civilised world'. Walston argues for the importance of truth in public life, domestic politics and in the press, and demonstrates the importance of truth in giving rise to charity and justice in social relationships. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in modern morality in the wake of war.
