Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Concerning True War Ir would be impossible to find any one pamphlet which could fairly be quoted as representing the German attitude towards the present war. For German opinion is divided; not indeed as to the righteousness of the war, but as to the exact grounds on which the German Government was justified in taking the initiative. A Bernhardi or a Harden disdains the plea of self-defence other German writers insist that Germany took up arms because her existence as a Great Power was at stake. The second school is, however, the more numerous; and to it belong most of the leaders of German academic thought. The views of this school are forcibly pre sented in the following address, which was delivered by Professor Wundt at Leipzig in September. It is desir able that the English public should have the opportunity of studying at first-hand the political ideas and judge ments which find favour with Germans regarded in their own country as men of moderate and balanced views. Englishmen who are unfamiliar with the German literature of the war may be surprised that a critic. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Truth About Germany: Facts About the War RY to realize, every one of you, what we are going through! Only a few weeks ago all of us were peacefully following our several vocations. The peasant was gathering in this summer's plentiful crop, the factory hand was working with accustomed vigor. Not one human being among us dreamed of war. We are a nation that wishes to lead a quiet and industrious life. This need hardly be stated to you Americans. You, of all others, know the temper of the German who lives within your gates. Our love of peage is so strong that it is not regarded by us in the light of a virtue, we Simply know it to be an inborn and integral portion of ourselves. Since the foundation of the German Empire in the year 1871, we, living in the centre of Europe, have given an example of tranquillity and peace, never once seeking to profit by any momentary difficulties of our neighbors. Our commercial extension, our financial rise in the world, is far removed from any love of adventure, it is the fruit of painstaking and plodding labor. We are not credited with this temper, because we are insufficiently known. Our situation and our way of thinking are not easily grasped.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Germany Vs, Civilization: Notes on the Atrocious War While this book is on the press, President Wilson has taken a firm stand, from which, we may h0pe, he will put an end to foreign arrogance and to domestic plotting and sedi tion. My references to his policy, written earlier, reflect the grave anxiety which many of us felt during the autumn and winter, and I let them remain because they bear witness to a very important element in the crisis. The long period of doubt over the President's in tentions not only stifled American patriotism, but greatly encouraged the enemies at work in the United States.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Considerations on the Present German War As the Author of these Considerations has ventured to differ from the commonly received opinion, it may be of use to confirm his sentiments with the highest and most unexceptionable authority; that of his Prussian Majesty, who, in a writing, said to have been drawn up by himself, speaks in the following manner: "As no German prince has a right to meddle with the internal policy of Great Britain, nor with the constitution of its government; I have some reasons to hope, that the English nation will not meddle with the domestic affairs of the Umpire. And I entertain those hopes the more; because England has no reason to meddle with this quarrel from any consideration of its commerce, or otherwise.

Download or read book German Truth and European Facts about the War Classic Reprint written by Frederick Pollock and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from German "Truth" And European Facts About the War It must not be supposed that we are satisfied of the existence of any francs-theme in Belgium, nor can we accept in its full extent the German View that, on pain of death, no man without a uniform may defend his own house or his own wife and children. We have thought it needless to enter on controvertible points. As to the charges of wanton cruelty towards Germans in Bel gian cities in the first days of war, we shall only say that, as made, they are too vague to be examined, and nothing has been heard of them in Europe so far as we know. If they were true, they would not justify or excuse retaliation in cold blood. All the world knows what has been reported from the smaller places captured and occupied by German soldiery. We hope, for the credit of humanity, that much of it will prove to be false or exaggerated. But, in face of the serious attitude of the Belgian Government, we cannot assume that all German hands are clean.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The German War, Its Morals and Ends This war is an atrocity made in Germany. It lacks even the ele ments of a fair game with its seditious spies, incendiary bombs, and submarine torpedoes by which Germany has pushed her ubiquitous nose into the affairs and security of other nations until she has made of herself an international offense. Do the Germans think by these means to cower and conquer the nations Of course they cannot do it. They are only laying up for themselves a store of wrath and con tempt that justly or unjustly will be visited upon their childrens' children, and from which they may only be redeemed by a repudiation of the creed and the craft of those who prepare war and contrive offen sive engines of death and devastation. There will be a new mind in Germany by the time the cripples she has made in this war have dis appeared from her sight. For the gentle German there will then be no more of glory in the Sieges Alee.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cause and Meaning of This War This world's war has now been in progress for more than three years. It began when many of you were too young to study its meaning or to take much interest in its progress, since it seemed very unlikely that the United States would be drawn into it. You know that you are in this war, but it is not surprising if a great many of you do not thoroughly understand why you are in this war. It is my purpose to explain to you those reasons briefly and in simple terms. But even to do this will first require some words about man's development in government and the conditions of the warring nations. The Christian conception of God is that there is an all-wise, an all-powerful, an all-kind Being, Who takes a personal interest in the present and future lives of men. If you apply that idea of a spiritual Being to this earth, all will agree that no people could be better ruled than by such an all-wise, all-powerful, and all-kind King or Emperor; and this was exactly the ancient idea of kingship. The king told his people, and his people believed, that he held his power directly from God and ruled them in accordance with the Divine will.

Download or read book Command Of The Air written by General Giulio Douhet and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2014-08-15 with total page 620 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the pantheon of air power spokesmen, Giulio Douhet holds center stage. His writings, more often cited than perhaps actually read, appear as excerpts and aphorisms in the writings of numerous other air power spokesmen, advocates-and critics. Though a highly controversial figure, the very controversy that surrounds him offers to us a testimonial of the value and depth of his work, and the need for airmen today to become familiar with his thought. The progressive development of air power to the point where, today, it is more correct to refer to aerospace power has not outdated the notions of Douhet in the slightest In fact, in many ways, the kinds of technological capabilities that we enjoy as a global air power provider attest to the breadth of his vision. Douhet, together with Hugh “Boom” Trenchard of Great Britain and William “Billy” Mitchell of the United States, is justly recognized as one of the three great spokesmen of the early air power era. This reprint is offered in the spirit of continuing the dialogue that Douhet himself so perceptively began with the first edition of this book, published in 1921. Readers may well find much that they disagree with in this book, but also much that is of enduring value. The vital necessity of Douhet’s central vision-that command of the air is all important in modern warfare-has been proven throughout the history of wars in this century, from the fighting over the Somme to the air war over Kuwait and Iraq.
Download or read book Hitler s American Gamble written by Brendan Simms and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2021-11-16 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A riveting account of the five most crucial days in twentieth-century diplomatic history: from Pearl Harbor to Hitler’s declaration of war on the United States By early December 1941, war had changed much of the world beyond recognition. Nazi Germany occupied most of the European continent, while in Asia, the Second Sino-Japanese War had turned China into a battleground. But these conflicts were not yet inextricably linked—and the United States remained at peace. Hitler’s American Gamble recounts the five days that upended everything: December 7 to 11. Tracing developments in real time and backed by deep archival research, historians Brendan Simms and Charlie Laderman show how Hitler’s intervention was not the inexplicable decision of a man so bloodthirsty that he forgot all strategy, but a calculated risk that can only be understood in a truly global context. This book reveals how December 11, not Pearl Harbor, was the real watershed that created a world war and transformed international history.
Download or read book The Wehrmacht s Last Stand written by Robert M. Citino and published by University Press of Kansas. This book was released on 2020-07-09 with total page 632 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By 1943, the war was lost, and most German officers knew it. Three quarters of a century later, the question persists: What kept the German army going in an increasingly hopeless situation? Where some historians have found explanations in the power of Hitler or the role of ideology, Robert M. Citino, the world’s leading scholar on the subject, posits a more straightforward solution: Bewegungskrieg, the way of war cultivated by the Germans over the course of history. In this gripping account of German military campaigns during the final phase of World War II, Citino charts the inevitable path by which Bewegungskrieg, or a “war of movement,” inexorably led to Nazi Germany’s defeat. The Wehrmacht’s Last Stand analyzes the German Totenritt, or “death ride,” from January 1944—with simultaneous Allied offensives at Anzio and Ukraine—until May 1945, the collapse of the Wehrmacht in the field, and the Soviet storming of Berlin. In clear and compelling prose, and bringing extensive reading of the German-language literature to bear, Citino focuses on the German view of these campaigns. Often very different from the Allied perspective, this approach allows for a more nuanced and far-reaching understanding of the last battles of the Wehrmacht than any now available. With Citino’s previous volumes, Death of the Wehrmacht and The Wehrmacht Retreats, The Wehrmacht’s Last Stand completes a uniquely comprehensive picture of the German army’s strategy, operations, and performance against the Allies in World War II.
Download or read book Culturgeschichtliche Novellen written by W. H. Riehl and published by CUP Archive. This book was released on 2017-12-14 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Culturgeschichtliche Novellen It is as in some sort an introduction to such a study of German as I have endeavoured to indicate, so far as this is possible under the limitations of a commentary on a given text, that the present volume has been prepared. The notes are numerous and copious, but I trust they will commend themselves as not of the kind that paralyse the student's own mental activity by superseding the necessity for it; but rather as stimulating it by presenting suitable material in a workable form, and furnishing guidance in such a way as to lead to future independence. The material has of course been supplied in the first place by the text itself. This has been to a small extent supplemented, but chiefly elucidated and illustrated, by matter drawn from sources many of them inaccessible to the English reader. A not inconsiderable element may lay some claim to origi nality, and perhaps this will be the most valuable part of the book to the real student, because treating from the objective standpoint of the foreigner, specially of the Englishman, matters of idiomatic difficulty upon which only scattered hints are to be found in sources English or German. I may refer particularly to the notes on the particles, on the exact force, as felt in the original, of words like erst, z'ibrzlgms, vol lends, &c., and of certain familiar but peculiar modes of con ception and expression which are too completely ingrained in the consciousness of a native for him easily to make them the objects of analysis or of explanation to others.
