Permanent Peace

In this book (ironically published just before the eruption of World War II), the author presents his plan for promoting and preserving world peace. Under Brewer’s plan-- based on his experiences as lawyer, solider, and historian-- all the civilized nations of the world would be permanent members of an international society of nations which would have supreme power to establish and maintain world peace. The supremacy of that super-state, which he calls the World Alliance, would be limited to the purpose of preserving world peace and would not encroach upon the rights of the member nations. The author further explains how his proposed World Alliance would differ from the League of Nations, and how his World Alliance would be able to preserve peace where the League of Nations had failed.
