Insightful and highly accessible, this selection of seven essays displays Russell's signature brilliance of exposition in the examination of ethical subjects and the nature of truth, and marks an important period in the evolution of thought of one of the world’s most influential thinkers.

Written at the height of the Cold War, Russell argues that the only way to end the threat of nuclear war is to end war itself, making this highly controversial text as relevant today as it was on first publication.

Written in the approachable style that has made Russell’s works so revered, this is a major work of political history in which significant economic and political forces and events that shaped the nineteenth century are examined.
