anyone interested in Chesterton\\u2019s war writing to know that there is a book called Chesterton on War and Peace which culls the war pieces from the ILN from 1905 till his death, so they\\u2019re all in one place for your reading pleasure.

Unfortunatly Chesterton on War and Peace is currently out of stock on the Chesterton.org website, but my second book site I go to, AbeBooks.com, which usually has a great selection of used books, does have it for only 9 or 10 bucks right now if you\\u2019re interested.

In addition, Collected Works volume 21 at the back has newspaper reports of some of Chesterton\\u2019s speeches, which is interesting reading.
