Anti-War Songs - The horrors of war and promoting peace

Bob Marley: 'War' - Derived from a speech by Haile Selassie I of Ethiopia this Bob Marley track is a key anti war song. Marley often referred to Selassie as 'The Lion' and, like many, worshipped him as a God. During the 1963 U.N Conference Selassie called for equality amongst all races, class and nationalities which Bob Marley then set to music and 'War' was born.
