‘When all criticisms are spent, it remains to express a debt of gratitude to Mr. Angell. He belongs to the cause of internationalism—the greatest of all the causes to which a man can set his hands in these days. The cause will not triumph by economics. But it cannot reject any ally. And if the economic appeal is not final, it has its weight. “We shall perish of hunger,” it has been said, “in order to have success in murder.” To those who have ears for that saying, it cannot be said too often.’—Political Thought in England, from Herbert Spencer to the Present Day, by Ernest Barker.
‘A wealth of closely reasoned argument which makes the book one of the most damaging indictments that have yet appeared of the principles governing the relation of civilized nations to one another.’—The Quarterly Review.
‘Ranks its author with Cobden amongst the greatest of our pamphleteers, perhaps the greatest since Swift.’—The Nation.
‘No book has attracted wider attention or has done more to stimulate thought in the present century than The Great Illusion.’—The Daily Mail.
‘One of the most brilliant contributions to the literature of international relations which has appeared for a very long time.’—Journal of the Institute of Bankers.
‘After five and a half years in the wilderness, Mr. Norman Angell has come back.... His book provoked one of the great controversies of this generation.... To-day, Mr. Angell, whether he likes it or not, is a prophet whose prophesies have come true.... It is hardly possible to open a current newspaper without the eye lighting on some fresh vindication of the once despised and rejected doctrine of Norman Angellism.’—The Daily News, February 25, 1920.
