The War System Of The Commonwealth Of Nations: An Address Before The American Peace Society, At Its Anniversary In Boston (1854) is a book written by Charles Sumner. The book is a detailed analysis of the war system of the Commonwealth of Nations, which comprises of countries that were formerly part of the British Empire, and how it affects peace and stability in the world. The author argues that the war system is a major impediment to the progress of humanity and that it should be replaced with a system of arbitration and peaceful settlement of disputes. The book provides a historical perspective on the development of the Commonwealth of Nations and its role in world affairs. It also discusses the impact of war on the economy, society, and culture of nations. The author suggests that the only way to achieve lasting peace is through the establishment of a global system of justice and the rule of law. The book is a call to action for individuals and governments to work towards a more peaceful and just world.
