WORLD GOVERNMENT, READY OR NOT! is unlike any book we are likely to read this side of the year 2000. Ministers, strapped for a sermon topic, could hardly do better than fill several months of Sundays with readings from Garry’s book. It’s a must for the law schools, the courses on international law, international relations, the peace researchers, disarmers, and freezers.

WORLD GOVERNMENT, READY OR NOT! is the first how-to-do-it and how-it-is-being done book on the making of world peace through government of, by, and for the citizens of the world recounted in masterful detail by a veteran of over 50 years experience in the “field.” WWII bomber pilot Garry Davis, in 1948 took Emery Reves (Anatomy of Peace) at his word — first that “…the ideal of the nation-state is bankrupt..” and second that “There is no first step to world government. World Government is the first step.” The eclectic Renaissance Man, stateless World Citizen Davis “lives” the future today treating philosophy, law, economics, travel, space, history and more with equal ease and insight. Moreover, as a world activist, he has seen the inside of over 30 national prisons. E.B. White wrote that “Davis marches to the beat of the Universe while we all march to a broken drum.” “The birth pangs of the new world order are already upon us,” Davis writes in the Prologue, “and as necessity knows no law but its own, we are too busy attending to that long-heralded and momentous birth to still the shrill cries of infidelity.” WORLD GOVERNMENT, READY OR NOT! is a book for the 21st century and beyond.

From the Foreword, “In this long overdue book, Garry Davis has taken a quantum leap beyond Rousseau’s Social Contract and he has placed himself for all time as the most vocal and structured advocate of the compact theory of world society.” — Dr. Luis Kutner, Chairman, Commission on International Due Process of Law, Chief Justice, World Court of Human Rights
