Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Must the War Go On? WE ought with reverence to approach that tremendous divinity that loves courage, but commands counsel. War never leaves, where it found a nation. It is never to be entered into without mature deliberation; not a deliberation lengthened out into a perplexing indecision, but a deliberation leading to a sure and fixed judgment. When so taken up, it is not to be abandoned without reason as valid, as fully, and as extensively considered. Peace may be made as unadvisedly as war. Nothing is so rash as fear; and the counsels of pusillanimity very rarely put off, whilst they are always sure to aggravate, the evils from which they would fly.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Why the War Must Go On Every soldier who fights at the front, every civilian who waits at home, every neutral observer, even, all the world over, has the right, at each stage in the war, to ask himself that question. To ask it'is not necessarily to show a weakening of determination, an uncertainty of aim, or doubt as to the final issue. Simply, it means that, every now and then, watchers and fighters, sufferers and workers, desire to take a bird's eye view of the situation; to estimate the chances; to judge how far we may be upon the long road leading towards light.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from God's War To tho end that the memory of tho men and women whose valor and sacrifices defended and preserved the Republic through the trial as by fire of tho gloat civil war in America shall not perish from the earth; that their descendants and successors may appreciate tho splendor of the steadfast patriotism and patient resolute endurance to which humanity owes so much; and in the hope that the world may the better understand and value the lessons taught by a divinely ordained educational process, this story has been written. Persuaded that its faults must be many and grievous (since, how should a plain layman, sometime soldier, with no claims to literary skill, avoid them?), and conscious of its inadequacy, the author submits it; trusting that it may, at least in some small degree, accomplish the work whereunto it is sent.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tales of the Great War MY dear g., -i have written this book and you are going to read it - we are partners and must play up to each other. Let me tell you my idea Of how it should be done. My part is to give you the truth, the actual facts, well evidenced and clearly arranged. Your part is to read them in such a way as to understand them - that is, to understand not only what happened, but how heroic and how admirable are the qualities which lie behind. You will see, as you read, why I ask you to play up and do your part. It is because I cannot do it for you. I have told you here of good work and courage and endurance, such as deserve all the loudest adjectives that I could have shouted at you; but I have not shouted, and I have used as few adjectives as possible. It is you, not I, that must make the stories come alive. You will not, I hope, imagine that I have written coldly; no - but the hotter I got myself the more keenly I wished you to be kindled by your own feelings, and not by my words. If you find yourself glorying in these records as I do, come and tell me so when the War is over, and we will get a little music and make a noise together.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Great War, Vol. 1 This work in its original form appeared in twenty-four volumes between February 1915 and July mm, and was therefore written and published for the most part during the progress of the campaign. Begun as an experiment to pass the time during a period of enforced inaction, its large sales and the evidence forthcoming that it met a certain need induced me to continue it as a duty, and the bulk of it was written in the scanty leisure which I could snatch from service abroad and at home. Any narrative produced under such conditions must bristle with imperfections. It will contain many errors of fact. The writer cannot stage his drama or prepare the reader for a sudden change by a gradual revelation of its causes. His work must have something of the apparent inconsequence of real life. He records one month a sanguine mood and a hopeful forecast; three months later he will tell of depression and of expectations belied. He must set out interim judgments, and presently recant them.

Download or read book Young People s History of the World War Classic Reprint written by Louis P. Benezet and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Young People's History, of the World War The lesson of the World War is a tremendous one. Summed up in a single sentence it is, It must never happen again. The morale of the men in the trenches, on the allied side, at least, was kept up through the weary years of struggle by the persistent propaganda that this was to be the last war, the war to end war. We are playing falsely with the nine million dead, - the flower of the young man hood of a dozen nations if we fail to keep before the minds of their young brothers the glorious story of their sacrifice and the awful needlessness of it all. If war is to be blotted off the face of the earth, each must do his bit. This small contribution is offered to swell the mighty and ever growing vol ume of demands that nations, like individuals, deal with each other openly, honorably, and without greed. When that day shall have come, the navies and armies of the world will have gone the way of the rapier, which every gentleman of the sixteenth century was obliged to carry, or the six - shooter, which took the place of courts and juries in the days of '49. While this volume is written for the understand ing of young people, it is the hope of the author that many older readers may find in his pages some thing to repay their time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Responsibility for the Great War In the summer of 1914, when the Great War suddenly broke upon Europe, there was much perplexity and confusion of thought among neutral observers. Signs of a coming test of strength had been plentiful, but thus far they had proved false: diplomatic "crises" had been successfully handled; sabers had rattled but had remained in the sheath; "storm clouds" had failed to break. And now, almost without warning, the most malignant forces of civilization were loosened and the world war was a fact. There was nothing in the European situation of that year that should "inevitably" have led to war. Armed conflicts usually come when statesmen, diplomats, and the controlling classes lack wisdom in dealing with real crises or when the ruling elements actually desire war. Justice sometimes demands warfare, but in 1914 justice was evidently not active in the councils of Central Europe. Neutral observers were soon in fair agreement that in August of that year a crime had been committed - the greatest crime in all the ages. In their search for the criminal they received but slight help from the belligerent patties; all tried to load the responsibility for the war on the backs of their opponents. Soon after the outbreak, Count Andrassy, an eminent Hungarian statesman, in a book entitled "Whose Sin is the World War," placed the blame on Russia; England and France were responsible in a lesser degree. The Germans, however, were unwilling to accept Andrassy's dictum; they regarded England as the chief criminal and called fervently on the Almighty to join in punishing that wicked state. England in her turn found the responsibility in Berlin and poured forth her wrath upon the Kaiser as the symbol of Prussian power and perfidy. Before many months the neutral world had come to feel that the burden of responsibility must ultimately be placed on one of these two powers, England or Germany. And, as the war developed, a constantly growing number came to feel that the guilt must be charged to the German government.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Civil War: From a Southern Stand-Point As to how' well the author has succeeded in her effort the reader must decide, and to do so fairly he should keep in mind the design of the work and think calmly of the great struggle and what may be the final outcome. In my judgment, all who thus act must go beyond the pinched patriotism of sectional ani mosities, and while deeply deploring the war with its sad phys ical and sadder moral effects, honor the heroic effort of the South. Although the work is intensely Southern, its spirit is excellent, all severity being carefully avoided by the author. I bespeak for it a cordial welcome at the hands of a generous public. R. Lin.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The War to Date: March 1, 1900 The numberless publications on the subject of the War, a welcome might conceivably await just one more - only a little one - which should enable the reader with a minimum of intellectual effort to form_a connected idea of the causes which led up to the terrible struggle now raging in South Africa, and the effects it has so far produced. Historically speaking no attempt has been made to do more than portray in outline the main characters and events which have figured upon the stage of Boer politics from the time of the Great Trek to the present day, and briefly sketch the varying scenes which have unfortunately culminated in the climax of war. The time i'or exhaustive treatment of the whole question is not yet. A book of this nature is obviously to a great extent a thing of shreds.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from War and the Weird Do you think there is anything In it. 9 He was a clean - set six -foot specimen of English manhood, an officer Of the R. F. A. Wounded at Mons, who spoke. I mean I haven't studied these subjects much - in fact, I haven't studied them at all. Sport is more in my line than spiritualism and that kind Of thing, but when you have experiences brought under your very nose again and again, you cannot help thinking there must be something in such things. He had just told me that in the last few minutes' sleep he managed to get on the march to Mons he dreamt that he was unable to sit his horse. The next day he was wounded inside his right knee, not seriously, but sufficient to stop him riding for a week or two. I should never have thought anything more of it - I mean, connecting the dream with the ill-luck - but in the South African campaign there were quite remarkable instances.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Civil War It is the attempt of this book to show that the Civil War was more than a succession of battles; that it was a struggle between two civilizations, each the logical result of its environment, and each endeavoring to work out the best American interest as it saw it. That of the two civilizations, one was reactionary, and Opposed to both the humani tarian sentiments of the nineteenth century and the economic profit of the race, is quite as true as the fact that honesty and intelligence were about evenly divided in the contest. The motive for secession, slavery, was indefensible in the long run, but men brought up with that institution believed in it, and were led by it to believe that the Con stitution had not created a nation, a position in which they were contradicted by the facts of industry and the law of the land. On both counts, Slavery and secession, American history must adjudge the South to have been mistaken. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Morning's War: A Romance It may have looked less like a sowing of seed than a casting of some weed into the fire when Frank Browne, a sadly wild fellow, drained his last can in the London of 1610, fell asleep full of beautiful thoughts on a bench close to Ludgate and found, when next things came clear, that he was ascending a hill, wet with a fog that beaded his hair, in a light that could only be dawn, and he with a musket in hand, wondering what could have sent him soldiering. Had he been nabbed while he slept? Or was he there of his own motion, a Maccabee saving his country, urged by some vision that had visited his bench? It must have been this second way; he preferred it; and there were such calls; Joan of Arc might have had one, for all that they said; a lowly vessel, no doubt, but the hundred or so that marched with him now looked lowly too; if such stones were to head any corners at all it must be Heavens, so clearly had this worlds builders rejected them all. The nude has its glories, and clothes that cohere have theirs: here you saw neither, but a chill turpitude: mangy cats looked so; for the very fleas, in their shrinking coverts, the future must have a disquieting air. It was surely a call that had come. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
