Overview

In 1915, when Chesterton emerged from a coma after his physical collapse several months earlier, England was in the midst of the Great War with Germany. Although the English army had no use for Chesterton as a soldier, his pen was immediately enlisted to help the war effort. The Appetite of Tyranny is one of the resulting works. In it, Chesterton explores the conditions under which war is justified, and his conclusions are as relevant now as they were then. This thoughtful, provocative work should be read by everyone who is interested in sorting out the problems of modern politics, aggression, and defense. Includes ""The War on the Word,"" ""The Refusal of Reciprocity,"" ""The Appetite of Tyranny,"" ""The Escape of Folly,"" and ""Letters to an Old Garibaldian."" Newly designed and typeset by Waking Lion Press.
