Description
After the horrors of World War One, the world was ready for peace.
So, in 1921, nine countries came together for a summit in Washington DC to talk disarmament.
One visitor to the conference was world famous sci-fi writer H.G.
Wells. "Washington and the Riddle of Peace" collects together twenty nine articles he wrote about the event, which were originally published in various magazines and newspapers.
He writes with both optimism and pessimism about the talks, wanting to believe in humankind's better nature but wary of countries' insatiable appetite for power and money.
Less than two decades later of course, Wells' worst fears would be proved correct. -
