Book excerpt: Excerpt from The War and America This book discusses the essential factors and issues in the European war and their meaning and import for America. The hour for an im personal account of the war has certainly not yet come, and may not come for a long while. What our time can contribute is the reflection of the great war in the minds of individuals. A story of memories and impressions, of fears and hopes, has to-day more inner truth than any history of the struggle apparently written with an historian 's coolness. This diary, therefore, views the events as they unfold themselves from week to week, from the angle of personal experiences.

Download or read book America and the Great War for Humanity and Freedom Classic Reprint written by Willis Fletcher Johnson and published by . This book was released on 2016-06-16 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from America and the Great War for Humanity and Freedom I shall also attempt to Show how crucial was the situation in Europe at the psychological moment of our declara tion of war, and how truly at that time the fate of humanity seemed to be hanging upon our decision and our action; and how momentous for ourselves and for others was the action of our government in accepting the hostile challenge of the German Empire. Concerning the magnitude of the theme there can be no question. The war which was begun by the Teutonic powers in the summer of 1914 brought the world face to face with what is probably the greatest crisis in its whole history. We might compare it with the Punic wars, which decided whether Rome or Carthage should rule the Medi terranean and its shores; with the Greek and Persian wars, which determined whether European or Asiatic civilization should be dominant; with the Fall of Rome; with the Mohammedan conquests and the Crusades; with the Napo leonio wars. But not one of these approximated the physical magnitude of this War of the Nations, or its moral and Spiritual importance to the future of the whole human race. For the first time in our history, all the highest material and intellectual resources of civilization are arrayed in an effort to subvert and to destroy the moral and spiritual fruits of human progress. The drunken helot of Sparta is invested with all the arts of Athens. To such a con ict are we called, to declare, as truly as in 1776, that states and peoples have a right to independent government of their own choice; and to see to it, as truly as in 1863, that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

Download or read book The Americans in the Great War Vol 2 Classic Reprint written by and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Americans in the Great War, Vol. 2 The world already knows of the undying glory achieved in the Great War hythe American Soldiers, but perhaps less is known about the historic ground over which they fought. The purpose of the present volume is more to describe, for the benefit of the tourist, that section of France where the battle of Saint-Mihiel raged, than to dwell on the splendid achievements of the brave troops from across the seas, who took that ancient stronghold, and thus opened the way to Metz. At the same time it is fitting to remind the reader that at Saint-Mihiel the Americans liberated over 150 square miles of French territory; took over 15, 000 German prisoners, and captured upwards of 200 guns. President Poincare, in a message to President Wilson, expressed in the following words, the feelings of France regarding the glorious achievements of the American troops: "I congratulate you, Mr. President, on a victory which has been completed so brilliantly. General Pershing's magnificent divisions have just liberated with admirable dash, cities and villages of Lorraine which have been groaning for years under the yoke of the enemy. I express the warmest thanks of France to the people of the United States." Marshal Foch, also, expressed the greatest possible admiration for the way the American troops fought their way to the great victory at Saint-Mihiel. In describing the battle Marshal Foch said: "This was where the Americans for the first time showed their worth. This is where we were able to judge of these admirable soldiers, strong in body and valiant in soul. In one swoop they reduced the famous salient, which during so long we did not know how to approach." In closing this brief introduction the publisher wishes to say that it would have been an easy matter to fill the pages following with many high-sounding phrases and verbose descriptions, but it has been thought better to adhere to the facts (they speak for themselves), and to furnish the tourist as briefly as possible with an historically correct account of the great victory of Saint-Mihiel.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from America at War The long moral struggle is over. The extremists have prevailed in Germany, while in America righteous ness has become another name for wrath. All the just, righteous, and kindly endeavors of our government to main tain the code of international rights and human safeguards have been made the object of scorn, and the instruments by which royal arrogance sought to fulfill its schemes. Our record is clean. We have leaned backward to maintain the cause of peace. In the pursuit of this cause we have been called cowards and selfish people. So did we yearn for peace, that the world mistook this longing for selfishness, and we ourselves began to doubt and grow a little discouraged and ashamed.

Download or read book The American Red Cross in the Great War Classic Reprint written by Henry Pomeroy Davison and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Red Cross, in the Great War It is the effort of this book to set forth the scope, character and effect of the work of the American Red Cross during the Great War. When the war closed more than thirty million Americans were enrolled in the organization. Some of these were in foreign fields; most of them were at home. But, in one way or another, they were all helping. All of them working together made up the American Red Cross. Stories of special sacrifice or devotion cannot be given here and yet few organizations have so closely touched the great currents of human life. Detailed narratives will accordingly follow this book. I have sought here to summarize the work of the thirty millions as a whole. To characterize the Red Cross work of any man or woman, or to attempt to describe it with any regard to proper perspective, would be invidious if not impossible. I have therefore omitted the mention of names. The highest satisfaction any worker in the Red Cross can derive from his work is from the fact that the work itself was well done. The files of the War Council have been freely drawn upon in the preparation of this book. And I want to make special acknowledgment to every member of the force at headquarters, and to the special correspondents and staffs of our foreign commissions, who seemingly have vied with. one another in supplying me, either orally or in writing, with material without which the scope of this book could not be what it is. Indeed it may accurately be said that the book itself is a product of the American Red Cross. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book America and Her Army Classic Reprint written by Robert Mackenzie and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from America and Her Army American Government supplies the usual food and clothing to the army, and has done it, upon the whole, regularly and copiously. But the agents of the American people are every where present with ample stores of everything which men require, to place it beyond all doubt that the American soldier shall suffer no discomfort which it is possible to avert. There is a perfect fitness in this arrangement. For of this war it may be said, without qualification or reserve, that it is the war or the people. N 0 Government made it. It was from the outset the fixed determination of the Northern people that the nation should not submit to dismemberment. This is their own war, fought by their own sons and brothers, for the accomplishment of purposes which are dearer to them than life. It is fitting that they should assume the care of an army which is so emphatically their own. We do not understand aright the spirit in which the American people are fighting out this mighty quarrel till we know what care they bestow upon their soldiers.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American People and the War When one begins, however, to reflect on the probable causes of the sudden lapse of the most civilized parts of Europe into worse than primitive savagery, he comes at once on two old and widespread evils in Europe from which America has been exempt for at least one hundred and fifty years. The first is secret diplomacy with power to make issues and determine events, and the second is autocratic national execu tives who can swing the whole physical force of the nation to this side or that without con sulting the people or their representatives.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Red Cross in This War Two years ago the Red Cross member ship was hardly more than twenty-five thousand; today it is twenty-three million. Two years ago its income for war relief was trivial; this last year it was well over money given twice because given quickly, money skillfully expended by experts, with every penny vouched for and recorded with absolute accuracy and fidelity. And I believe that America is ready to refill the Red Cross treasury whenever the right moment comes to ask for it. America's heart has been deeply touched by the miseries of others. But do we Americans appreciate the seriousness of our own position? I think not. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The United States of America written by David Saville Muzzey and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-25 with total page 684 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The United States of America: Through the Civil War This book is intended primarily for college students. It aims at something beyond that mere chronicling of the facts of the past in fuller detail which often makes the advanced history text only the elementary book writ large. In other branches of study there is progression. The writer on calculus or me chamical engineering does not feel it incumbent upon him to restate and explain simple mathematical processes, like factor ing or the extraction of cube root. He takes the knowledge of these things for granted. But historians are often content to repeat over and over again the same succession of names and dates, instead of attempting to interpret their meaning to ma turing minds. This is what gives so many students the impres sion that history is a discipline of memory of past events, and the content of history a museum of wax figures in no vital rela tion to the society of today. Obviously, unless the historian can show that the men and institutions of the past have that inevitable parental relation to present social and political struc tures which the biologist, for example, traces in the develop ment of physical life, history will continue to be remote, unreal, and unrelated. As a succession of happenings the past, even the most recent past, is forever gone. It is as far beyond our reach as the moons of Jupiter. It is behind our back, too. The entire and increasing work of our life is the unceasing creation of a future with our present materials - as in the case of the traveler who lays the corduroy road ahead of him log by log. Because our present material is the heritage of the long past, that past has eternal significance in determining the direction of the road which we lay. Such IS the spirit in which this book has been written. Its subject 15 the development of the American ideal of democracy.
