Norman Angell

Broadside

[Anti-War] [Counterculture]Suppose America Declared War On Germany? The Saturday Evening Post. Indianapolis: Curtis Publishing Co., July 1915. Size 7" x 11" inches, card stock. An anti-war broadside advertising British author, journalist, and Nobel Peace Prize recipient Norman Angell's anti-war article in The Saturday Evening Post. Angell analyzed the nature of war, concluding that the danger of mutual destruction of both aggressors and defenders made armed conflict unprofitable. He advocated for peaceful development, as the expansion of free trade would create greater interdependence between states and improved education would make war irrational and uncivilized. Angell's peace concept became known as “angellism” and was disseminated through a network of societies for peace. Norman Angell is the only person to have been awarded the Peace Prize for publishing a book. Decorated with a bold black and white illustration of a ship traversing the ocean, followed by a bold heading: "Suppose America Declared War On Germany?". The subsequent text reads: "How the case of the United States differs from that of the Allies, and the possibilities of a new kind of warfare, are discussed by Norman Angell, in The Saturday Evening Post". Original price listed at "5 Cents the Copy". A very small tear on the top margin, not affecting text. In very good condition.
