Abstract

This attractive little volume contains a selection from Freud's essay, 'Thoughts for the Times on War and Death', written during the last war, a long extract from Civilization and its Discontents and his letter to Einstein on the subject of 'Why War?' None of Freud's writings could be more appropriately re-issued at the present time. He was not a man to offer consolations, but the effect of reading his wise reflections must fortify the soul of anyone who is facing the grim realities of our times.
