The Great Illusion: A Study of the Military Power to National Advantage is a book written by Norman Angell in 1913. The book argues that war is not a profitable way for countries to gain power and wealth. Angell contends that in a modern economy, the costs of war outweigh the benefits, and that countries are better off pursuing peaceful means of achieving their objectives. The book was written in the context of the arms race that was taking place in Europe at the time, and was intended to be a warning against the dangers of war. The book was widely read and influential, and is considered to be one of the most important works of international relations theory of the 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
