The book offers reflections and critiques on the Washington Conference on the Limitation of Armament, examining the hopes and realities surrounding international diplomacy aimed at preventing future conflicts. Tarbell's analysis focuses on the complexities of disarmament discussions and the emotional weight of negotiating peace among newly aligned nations. The opening of the book introduces the author's keen observations leading up to the conference, highlighting the contrasting emotions of hope and skepticism surrounding its potential. Tarbell paints a picture of the public sentiment, with some anticipating broad disarmament, while others express doubt about the efficacy of such international gatherings.
