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.
