Reflections on war and peace and the constitution
Anastaplo, George · 2015
על הספר
"The attitudes and assumptions of different cultures and historical periods toward war and the maintenance of peace are reviewed by recalling authors including Euripides, Sophocles, Plato, Cervantes, Shakespeare, Hobbes, and Zola. The challenges of war, peace, and national security for and by Americans are examined, as are documents such as the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of 1787. The lives and thoughts of eminent Americans are also recalled (including George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and Franklin Roosevelt), as are the challenges posed by incidents such as the Dreyfus Affair and monstrosities such as the Holocaust during the Second World War. The appendixes reinforce these inquiries by providing critical documents in American history and interviews with a Holocaust survivor"--Unedited summary from book cover.
