*** COVER FEATURES ***
dot Neither Shall They Learn War Anymore (w/full graphics) - Some 27 centuries ago, the prophet Isaiah foretold a time when "nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore." Since that time, countless millions of lives have been lost in war and its grim aftermath, and man has expended vast resources in killing his fellowman. Were Isaiah's words simply an empty dream, or will they one day become a reality? (w/no graphics)
