IF THE WAR GOES ON
by Hermann Hesse

Winner of the Nobel Prize for literature in 1946, one of the most astonishing aspects of Hesse's career is the consistency of his political views, his passionate pacifism and internationalism from the start of World War I to the end of his life. The earliest essay in this book was written in September 1914 and was followed by a stream of letters, essays, and pamphlets that reached its high point with Zarathustra's Return, in which Hesse exhorted German youth to shake off the false gods of nationalism and militarism that had led their country into the abyss. Such views earned him the labels "traitor" and "viper" in Germany.
