How to avoid World War III (ePub)

Authors Hang Nguyen and Jamal Qaiser state their plea for world peace in this comprehensive and thought-provoking book.

Following World War I, with its devastating death toll of 20 million, the international community established the League of Nations with a single goal: to prevent another war. Unfortunately, they failed miserably. Only 20 years later, preparations began for World War II, which claimed over 60 million lives. In 1945 the United Nations Organization (UNO) was formed in order to prevent a third world war.

The authors Hang Nguyen and Jamal Qaiser have successfully created an intriguing and historically well-founded book, in which they examine the question of how the UN can succeed in preventing a third world war. They shed light on all current sources of danger and outline viable solutions in great detail. By deep diving into the causes and correlations, they explore the dangers of war and reveal the opportunities for a peaceful world.

A vast array of subjects is scrutinised under their lens, with no stone left unturned. The global power centres and nuclear arsenals, the Security Council and the UN Blue Helmets, the power and impotence of international institutions, cyber war, biological weapons, war propaganda, asocial media, terrorism, killer robots and the space race are all discussed, as are developments in Afghanistan, Syria and Ukraine, and the escalating global conflict between the USA and China. A separate chapter is dedicated to the question of where Europe stands in this global conflict. Throughout the book, the authors not only explain how the levers of power behind all these developments work, but go far beyond that to outline paths to world peace.
