In this remarkable memoir Nicholas Hagger reflects on war and peace and on “peace for our time”, Chamberlain’s haunting words in 1938 that ushered in the Second World War. Peace then turned out to be an illusion shattered by the outbreak of hostilities. Will world peace again turn out to be an illusion?
With a lightness of touch Nicholas Hagger addresses the burning issue of our time – whether a new world structure can avert a new world war – and unveils a vision of a better, safer world for our grandchildren. This stimulating work will fascinate and inspire a new generation looking beyond nation-state self-interest to world unity.

A tremendous resource. The vision outlined in these books represents an important advance in political and constitutional thinking that must eventually manifest in our future institutions and global governance. It is a necessary historical and evolutionary process and one that deserves serious attention, particularly from a universalist metaphysical perspective that sees humankind as one and seeks the benefit of all. Nicholas has done a great humanitarian service in articulating his world constitution and outlining his proposal for a partly federal world state that can serve as basis for future development. ~ David Lorimer, Paradigm Explorer
