"The Man Who Ended War" by Hollis Godfrey is a fictional novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative revolves around the extraordinary premise of a mysterious individual who claims he can bring an end to all war. The initial chapters introduce a group of correspondents and officials discussing a bizarre letter from this figure, setting the stage for an intriguing exploration of themes such as power, war, and the potential for peace. At the start of the story, the setting is a government office where the Secretary of War has just concluded a statement about new military transports. The protagonist, Orrington, and his colleague Ordway then delve into the contents of a ludicrous letter declaring war against war itself; the author of the letter threatens to destroy battleships if nations do not disarm. This shocking declaration seems ludicrous at first, summoning laughter among the correspondents. However, as Orrington pursues further investigation into the peculiar claims of the letter, he discovers a deeper, possibly dangerous significance behind the man’s intentions. The narrative intertwines personal stories, including the budding romance between Orrington and a research scientist named Dorothy Haldane, lending emotional depth to the unfolding adventure as they uncover the truth behind the mysterious figure and his ambitions.
