{"product_id":"9781410202482","title":"War - What For?","description":"Originally published in 1910, this is an anti-war book with superb illustrations, many military facts and figures about armament, weapons, and their effects. Decrying the practice of using young working class men as cannon-fodder while the wealthy who profit from war urge them to their \"patriotic duty.\"  An interesting presentation of anti-capitalist attitudes in the early 20th century, it was a socialist agitator's contribution to the peace-war controversy which immediately preceded the outbreak of the European war in July, 1914.  About 150,000 copies had been printed when World War I began.  Illustrated with photos and cartoons.
