About the work
The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:
http://librivox.org/bethink-yourselves-by-leo-tolstoy/ LibriVox recording of Bethink Yourselves! by Leo Tolstoy, translated by V. Tchertkoff. Read by David Barnes. As Russia goes to war against Japan, Tolstoy urges those at all levels of society, from the Tsar down to the common soldier, to consider their actions in the light of Christ's teaching. "However strange this may appear, the most effective and certain deliverance of men from all the calamities which they inflict upon themselves and from the most dreadful of all—war—is attainable, not by any external general measures, but merely by that simple appeal to the consciousness of each separate man which, nineteen hundred years ago, was proposed by Jesus—that every man bethink himself, and ask himself, who is he, why he lives, and what he should and should not do." (Introduction by David Barnes, and extract from Chapter VI)
