'The arts of war and peace' have always been among the great themes of literature. From the Old Testament and the epics of Homer and Virgil down to the writings of many nineteenth- and twentieth-century authors, these subjects emerge as leading pre-occupations of mankind. Emphasis varies from the drama of building and breaking nations to the individual heroism and suffering that inevitably accompanies war. Behind all of it lies the paradox of man's seemingly unstoppable propensity for war at variance with the deep human yearning for peace. |
