On the 100th anniversary of the month in which the League of Nations officially began, the third and final Closing Briefing provides a three-fold indictment of a book by Professor Sir Lawrence Freedman entitled The Future of War: A History (Penguin Books, 2018)..
The de facto Law Officer for Public Benefit (Law PB) offers academics in this or related fields a choice of peace or war, metaphorically:
* Support or join the Peace Games 2020, as trialled by the International Peace Project in 2005/06, in order that the public have a choice of life in peace or death in global war, literally;
or
* Face the prospect of further indictments from the de facto LawPB, like this one, that may be issued from time to time against those senior academics who wilfully choose to forget that their work exists to serve the public benefit, as defined in the case concerning the Project on Demilitarisation, and not their private, academic interest.
The Education of Nations will thereby be a barometer of the prospects for peace or war.
