War of the Words

Dear Editor: I found that Issue 105 on ‘War and Peace’ focused more on war. That’s understandable since war is more primal, garnering more attention. Peace is complex, and dull by comparison. But I think our natural emphasis on war and violence also has to do with the fact that wars still occur and the feeling that maybe we haven’t learned anything.

Margaret MacMillan’s book The War That Ended Peace is about a peace lasting many decades that was ended by the outbreak of WWI.
