Why We Fight Wars combines two classics about war and pacifism in one volume – G. L. Dickinson’s Causes of International War and War: its Nature, Cause and Cure. Dickinson was deeply affected by the “Great War” and, shortly after its outbreak, started to develop solutions and alternatives to the world’s never-ending warfare and international carnage.
Goldsworthy Lowes Dickinson (1862-1932) was a philosopher, historian and political scientist, who spent most of his career in Cambridge, England. He was instrumental in building an international peace organisation which would later become the League of Nations.
