A prolific writer, Veale was a regular contributor to The Nineteenth Century and After, a respected British monthly review. In addition to articles on economic and historical questions, he wrote four books, including The Man from the Volga: A Life of Lenin (1932), Frederick the Great (1935), and Crimes Discreetly Veiled (1958). His most well-known book, Advance to Barbarism, was published in 1948 under the pen name “A. Jurist.”, and a revised edition followed in 1953. It was issued in several languages, including Spanish and German.
For many years, Veale resided in Brighton, England, where he also worked as a solicitor.
Widely regarded as his most important and influential work, Advance to Barbarism was first published in 1948 (under the pen name “A. Jurist.”), with a revised edition followed in 1953. It was issued in several languages, including Spanish and German. It traces the evolution of warfare from primitive savagery to the rise of a “civilized” code of armed conflict that was first threatened in the US civil war, and again in the First World War, and was finally shattered during the Second World War.
The Seventh IHR Conference (1986) was dedicated to Veale’s life and work.
Veale died in 1976.weniger sehen
