This book examines the relationship between vital national interests and the drive to reduce armaments in the years immediately following the First World War. Governments are driven to arm themselves to defend what they see as fundamental interests, like territory and economic well-being. The author argues that diplomatic agreements based on mutual respect can make armament spending unnecessary, and were successful in preventing conflict after the First World War, notably between the United States and Canada. The book focuses on the need to define vital national interests, and then to use these definitions to create agreements that will inspire confidence between nations. The author argues that while disarmament is a complex process, it is vital for world peace. By reducing military spending, nations free up resources that can be used for education, infrastructure, and other social programs.
