The Folly of War: An Analysis of the Rebel Alliance

The Folly of War: An Analysis of the Rebel Alliance was a text authored by Haolp Joruth, former senator for the Core Worlds planet Eufornis Major under the Galactic Republic and Galactic Empire. He published the text after leading his people in joining the New Republic following the signing of the Galactic Concordance that ended the Galactic Civil War in 5 ABY.

Although Joruth had taken no part in the Alliance to Restore the Republic during the war, the text critiqued the Alliance's tactics and leadership during the conflict. In 35 ABY, the historian Beaumont Kin spoke about Joruth's text in his book The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire and stated that to him it seemed that The Folly of War also questioned if the Empire had needed overthrowing at all. Kin also suggested that it had likely made it difficult for former Alliance members to work with Joruth within the New Republic while he slandered them in text.
