In 1918, HG's speculation on the makeup of a League of Nations.

H.G. Wells acknowledges that many other people have ideas on what the "League of Nations" should be in makeup and purpose. This is his take on the subject. He reviews recent history (1914) with a series of essays and speeches, first published in 1918, and speculates about the near future (1918) of nation-states. Interwoven with this are his ideas on politics and what would create a perfect world. He also spends significant time defining democracy. Additionally, he discusses various factors that contribute to an efficient war. H.G. has a unique perspective that makes this book a must, even for his sci-fi readers.
