Washington and the Riddle of Peace - H G Wells

"Washington and the Riddle of Peace" by H.G. Wells is a compelling collection of 29 essays reflecting the author's impressions as an observer at the 1921 Washington Conference for the Limitation of Armaments. Rather than documenting the event itself, Wells offers a unique perspective on the challenges and possibilities of achieving world peace, critiquing the failed League of Nations and exploring the concept of a "world conversation." His insights into the need for organized global cooperation resonate today, as the quest for peace and understanding among nations remains a pressing concern.
