One of the most common topics of books, films, and
other cultural productions, World War II, may also be
one of the most misunderstood — with that
misunderstanding wildly misused to justify ghastly
horrors, and even to take steps that are moving us
closer to World War III.
Here’s a new analysis of well-established facts,
presented in an interactive global online course over
six weeks.
This course is 100% online and interactions
are not live or scheduled, so you can take part whenever
works for you. Weekly content includes a mix of
text, images, video, and audio. Instructors and students
utilize online discussion forums to go over each week's
content, as well as to provide feedback on optional
assignment submissions. The course also includes three
1-hour optional zoom calls which are designed to
facilitate a more interactive and real-time learning
experience.

Course fee: $100 (Pay less if you have to, more if
you can.) There will be a limit of 150 tickets sold for
this course.
Everyone registered for the course will
receive PDF, ePub, and/or mobi (kindle) versions of
David Swanson's book Leaving World War II
Behind, which will provide additional reading to
those who want to go beyond the written, video, and
graphic materials provided in the
course.
The purpose of the course is to inform the
participant and enable them to inform others of why
World War II is not a good justification for military
spending and war planning, both because WWII happened in
a very different world from today's, and because common
beliefs about the nature of and justifications for WWII
are false. By debunking myths about WWII having been
necessary, justifiable, and beneficial, we can
strengthen arguments for moving to a world beyond war.
The course will explore why WWII was not fought to
rescue anyone from persecution, was not necessary for
defense, was the most damaging and destructive event yet
to occur, and could have been prevented by avoiding any
of several bad decisions.
