'The Folly and Wickedness of War'

Laurence M. Vance / LewRockwell.com:
Writing in 1968, the historian Will Durant, in his The Lessons of History, remarked that "in the last 3,421 years of recorded history only 268 have seen no war." Unfortunately, the most recent century was the bloodiest on record. Operation Barbarossa, the German invasion of the Soviet Union in June of 1941, was one of the most horrendous military campaigns, not only in the twentieth century, but in all of history. As related by Catherine Merridale in Ivan's War: Life and Death in the Red Army, 1939–1945 (Metropolitan Books, 2006)
