''In the Fourth Year'' is a collection H.G. Wells assembled in the spring of 1918 from essays he had recently published discussing the problem of establishing lasting peace when World War I ended. It is mostly devoted to plans for the League of Nations and the discussion of post-war politics. ==Synopsis== Wells states in his May 1918 preface that the notion of a War to End War had seemed Utopian when he advanced it in 1914, but that in 1918 it had achieved "an air not only of being so practical, but of being so urgent and necessary and so manifestly the sane thing before mankind that not to be busied upon it, not to be making it more widely known and better understood, not to be working out its problems and bringing it about, is to be living outside of the contemporary life of the world."〔H.G. Wells, ''In the Fourth Year'' (London: Chatto & Windus, 1918), p. vii. In a note, he lists the authors of the books and pamphlets on the subject that "happen to lie upon my study table as I write": Theodore Marburg, Charles Ernest Fayle, Walter Phillimore, Robert Goldsmith, Nicholas Murray Butler, André Mater, H. N. Brailsford, John Atkinson Hobson, Walter Walsh, Maximilian A. Mugge, and Judge Glør Thorvald Mejdell (pp. ix–x).〕 ''In the Fourth Year'' contains eleven chapters on the League of Nations, Allied war aims, and political institutions.
