Washington and the Riddle of Peace

by H. G. Wells

In "Washington and the Riddle of Peace," H.G. Wells offers a collection of essays born from his observations at the 1921 Washington Conference for the Limitation of Armaments. These essays present Wells's unique perspective on the complexities of world peace and the challenges and opportunities facing post-war society. Through his incisive analysis, Wells explores the aftermath of the Great War, the failures of the League of Nations, and the nascent efforts towards international cooperation.
