Drawing on a wealth of historical and contemporary examples, the author argues that war is not a necessary evil but a product of human choices and institutions. He traces the roots of war to the rise of capitalism and imperialism, showing how the pursuit of profit and power has led to endless cycles of violence and destruction.

Against War and Empire also explores the psychological and social factors that contribute to war, including the glorification of violence, the demonization of enemies, and the suppression of dissent. The author argues that these factors create a climate of fear and hatred that makes war seem inevitable and even desirable.

But Against War and Empire is not simply a critique of war. It is also a call for resistance. The author believes that it is possible to create a world without war and empire, and he offers a vision of a just and sustainable future. He argues that we must challenge the systems that perpetuate violence and oppression, and we must build movements for peace and social justice.

Against War and Empire is an essential read for anyone who cares about peace and justice. It is a powerful and timely reminder that war is not inevitable, and that we have the power to create a better world.
