Washington and the Riddle of Peace

Washington and the Riddle of Peace

H. G. Wells

Published in 1921, 'Washington and the Riddle of Peace' is a collection of 29 essays by H. G. Wells, reflecting on the Washington Conference for the Limitation of Armaments. Rather than documenting the event, Wells offers his impressions and insights on the necessity of organized world peace following the failure of the League of Nations. His essays articulate a vision for global cooperation and the challenges facing civilization, emphasizing the importance of dialogue over formal constitutions. The work remains significant for its exploration of peace in a post-war context.
