Representative Government and War (1903)

Representative Government and War is a book written by Charles Ross in 1903. The book examines the relationship between representative government and war, and how the former can influence the latter. Ross argues that representative government is a crucial factor in the decision to go to war, and that the people must have a say in such decisions. He also explores the role of political parties, the media, and public opinion in shaping government policy towards war. The book draws on historical examples, including the American Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars, to illustrate the impact of representative government on war. Ross concludes that representative government can be a powerful force for peace, but only if the people are engaged and informed about the issues at stake. Overall, Representative Government and War is a thought-provoking analysis of the complex relationship between democracy and war.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
