Publisher's Synopsis
One could yet understand how a poor, uneducated, defrauded Japanese, torn from his field and taught that Buddhism consists not in compassion to all that lives, but in sacrifices to idols, and how a similar poor illiterate fellow from the neighborhood of Toula or Nijni Novgorod, who has been taught that Christianity consists in worshipping Christ, the Madonna, Saints, and their ikons one could understand how these unfortunate men, brought by the violence and deceit of centuries to recognize the greatest crime in the world the murder of one's brethren as a virtuous act, can commit these dreadful deeds, without regarding themselves as being guilty in so doing.But how can so-called enlightened men preach war, support it, participate in it, and, worst of all, without suffering the dangers of war themselves, incite others to it, sending their unfortunate defrauded brothers to fight?
