Many books I have read have foresaw the coming of a third world war and the destruction it would cause. I can say that anyone with half a brain can see some signs of us getting closer to this war happening. I remember a saying I heard back in the 70's that said, "I am not sure what world war I will be fought with but world war IV will be fought with sticks and stones." I have a feeling that no matter what happens and if we do not learn and stop world war I from happening then we all will suffer here on earth and if humanity survives then it will be a much different world we live in.
As far as the book and its signs I still am not in total agreement with it. As far war the only thing good about it is the ones selling the arms to both sides to get richer off the suffering of others.
