Summary: "The Outbreak of Peace" by H. B. Fyfe is a science fiction short story written in the early 1960s. The narrative explores the intricacies of diplomatic relations amid ongoing military conflict, highlighting the delicate balance between war and peace. The story conveys themes surrounding the nature of alliances, the politics of war, and the complexities inherent in negotiations. Set against a backdrop of interstellar conflict, the plot revolves around Space Marshal Wilbur Hennings, who is preparing for a peace conference on the planet Pollux V. As he navigates the pomp and circumstance of the event, Hennings reflects on the superficiality of the displays around him and the underlying tensions of the political landscape. He learns about troop movements, exchanges of prisoners, and the machinations of both his delegation and the Polluxian hosts. Despite the festive atmosphere and public admiration, Hennings senses the need for careful diplomacy to turn potential victory into lasting peace, while recognizing that true intentions may remain hidden beneath the surface.
