Russell argues that the present state of civilization is a world revolution against all that is good and beautiful and lovely. It is a world revolution against peace, happiness and love, even to the destruction of the God of peace, and love and beauty. It can only end in the bloodiest and most costly war in human history unless the cause of this division of the contended and discontented is removed and the human race united as one for the common good of all man. In this short treatise he presents his analysis of this period of distress and proposes a scientific solution to it.
