The author has lived through the war as an observer and is not writing an academic treatise or a book based on authorities but claims merely to be analysing his own experiences. It is his conviction that “in the course of the struggles of the present-day world, humanity has developed a very serious disease.... The disease is mob psychosis. The contagion was carried by the war, by revolution, by political lying, by diplomatic betrayal, social disturbances and moral suppression.” (Introd.)

Contents: The impasse of politics; The debauch of European thought; The morass of war; The recovery of revolution; Revolutionary contradictions; Additional contemplations; Light and shadows; Consequences and possibilities.
