Description
Leo Tolstoy's Bethink Yourselves, published by Ginn in 1904 for the International Union, was reprinted from the London Times. It opens with a cry: again war, again sufferings necessary to nobody, again fraud and brutalization. Buddhists, whose law forbids killing even animals, face Christians professing brotherhood and love, yet acting as wild beasts on land and sea.
Tolstoy, translated by V. Tchertkoff, asks how men separated by thousands of miles seek each other out to kill, torture, and mutilate. The tract pleads with readers to wake from the dreadful reality of war and remember the law they profess.
