The Reason Why is a book written by John Stockdale in 1803 in response to a pamphlet titled ""Why Do We Go To War?"" In this book, Stockdale provides a comprehensive explanation of the reasons behind going to war. He argues that war is sometimes necessary to protect a nation's sovereignty and to defend against aggression from other nations. He also discusses the importance of diplomacy in preventing war and the role of military strategy in achieving victory. Throughout the book, Stockdale draws on historical examples to illustrate his points and provides a nuanced perspective on the complex issue of war. The Reason Why is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the causes and justifications for war, and remains relevant to contemporary discussions about international conflict.To Which Is Affixed, A Rejoinder To The Reply Of The Author Of Why Do We Go To War?This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
