Download or read book For Freedom Classic Reprint written by Serbian National Defense League America and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-03 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from For Freedom On January 20th of this year an important Slav meeting was held in the big Ball room of the Hotel Astor. Its importance lay not only in the fact that it was arranged jointly by duly authorized representatives of 7.000.000 Poles, Czechoslovaks and Yugoslavs (Serbs, Croats and Slovenes) living in this country, but also in the fact that it was arranged in honor of the Serbian Royal Mission to the United States because by expressing their admiration for, and solidarity with, Serbia these Austrian Slavs proved to be with their heart and soul for the Allies and against Austria-Hungary. The meeting in general resulted in being an eloquent protest of former Austrian subjects against the unheard of system of violence and oppression practised in Austria-Hungary, and its fundamental tone was: Long live liberty! - Down with Austria! At the moment when the Secretary of State desires to announce that, after the recognition of a Free and United Poland, the nationalistic aspirations of the Czechoslovaks and Yugoslavs for freedom, have also the earnest sympathy of the United States' Government, it may be of some interest to give a detailed account on this first joint action of the Poles, Czechoslovaks and Yugoslavs in America, by publishing the speeches given at the Hotel Astor. Far from having lost anything of their actuality these speeches are now of even more immediate significance because of the changed position of Austria-Hungary, who, impossible as she already was, has after her recent treaty with Germany become a complete vassal of German militarism. In the name of the Czechoslovaks, Mr. Gaza H. Mika spoke, in the name of the Poles, Dr. F. Ignatius Drobinski, and in the name of the Yugoslavs, Dr. Hinko Hinkovic. Dr. Milenko R. Vesnic, chief of the Serbian Mission, and General Mihailo Rasic spoke on behalf of Serbia. The chairman of the meeting, General Francis V. Greene, also delivered a cordial speech which was enthusiastically cheered by the audience; it is repeated here in full, as an inseparable part of the whole.

Download or read book Serbia Crucified written by Milutin Krunich and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-10-03 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If what Lieutenant Krunich has written were really and altogether what it seems to be in part-if it were in any abstract or pretentious way a treatise on the national spirit of Serbia, an interpretation, or a formal plea,-one would have to set it down simply as a very naive book. Especially in the earlier chapters, there is, indeed, an overflow of emotion that strikes one as somewhat primitive or childlike-an unrestrained glorification of Serbia, a vehement, heartfelt hatred of Bulgaria, a loathing almost physical for Serbia's enemies and especially for Germans. The effect of unsophistication is increased by a somewhat overwrought and ecstatic style. Different peoples, to be sure, nave different temperaments. To the Anglo-Saxon the melting of the soul into an intense feeling of mingled hatred and pity may seem a kind of moral deliquescence. In the Serbian this very state appears to be consistent with the sternest, most deliberate heroism, if not the normal accompaniment of it. One night, after five days' fighting before Nish, Lieutenant Krunich was lying in the grass outside the trench. "Suddenly, in the midst of this silence, this beauty ... a voice, a songl A beautiful manly voice on the Bulgarian side is softly and sadly singing a song. My God, a Bulgarian is singing! My whole being, intoxicated by the sweetness of this night, now fell into such an emotion under the influence of this voice, this song, that I became oblivious of place and reality. . . . 'La Toscal' I exclaimed loudly. 'A Mario in his last moments, in a sea of most dreadful human unhappiness, feeling the sighs of the dead instead of the embrace of happy love, seeks with the last shriek of his heart his happy dreams 1 The dreams of love! And this Mario now is a Bulgarian! A traitor, murderer 1 No, no, I cannot believe it! . . . What desires this man, this unhappy Bulgarian?' I asked myself. I felt a powerful struggle which surged more and more through my being. I can never psychologically explain those moments. ... I felt only as if a strange power had risen with a dreadful right in my soul, to destroy the song, this confession of a murderer, this sacrilege of the last beauty of a Serbian dream." But if the mood of this personal record is quite different from anything that one would expect to find in an English, French, or American fighting man, it is in this very fact that the strength of the thing ultimately proves to lie. And the strength of it is, ultimately, very great-so great, indeed, that extremely tender-minded people cannot be advised to read Lieutenant Krunich's story. The reader must expect to be wrought up-not merely horrified as by blood and crime, but stirred in a more actively emotional way. Chivalrous devotion to country, sensitiveness of soul-these are united in Lieutenant Krunich's way of reacting to war with a terrible clearness of vision and a raw sense of reality. In brief, no one else has drawn war-pictures quite so fearfully appealing as has this Serbian officer. Poor writing there is, doubtless, in the narrative, but there is also sincerity and power. The death of a dear friend, horribly wounded, in a hospital; the frantic protests of a feeble old sexton who tries to protect a graveyard from desecration by trench-diggers; the inconsolable sorrow of a company of Serbian soldiers for the death of a homeless child whom they have adopted and hungrily loved; the helpless pain of aged men and women; the unutterable grieving of a mother over a mutilated body,-these things are made not merely catastrophic, but as home-felt as the sufferings of a child. The violation of Serbian soil itself is described not merely as an affront to manhood, but almost as the dishonoring of a woman. The book induces an acute, painful pity and a strong abhorrence of those who caused the war....br> -The North American Review, Volume 207 [1918]

Download or read book A NEW DEAL FOR THE WORLD written by Elizabeth Borgwardt and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2007-09-30 with total page 479 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a work of sweeping scope and luminous detail, Elizabeth Borgwardt describes how a cadre of World War II American planners inaugurated the ideas and institutions that underlie our modern international human rights regime. Borgwardt finds the key in the 1941 Atlantic Charter and its Anglo-American vision of "war and peace aims." In attempting to globalize what U.S. planners heralded as domestic New Deal ideas about security, the ideology of the Atlantic Charter--buttressed by FDR’s "Four Freedoms" and the legacies of World War I--redefined human rights and America’s vision for the world. Three sets of international negotiations brought the Atlantic Charter blueprint to life--Bretton Woods, the United Nations, and the Nuremberg trials. These new institutions set up mechanisms to stabilize the international economy, promote collective security, and implement new thinking about international justice. The design of these institutions served as a concrete articulation of U.S. national interests, even as they emphasized the importance of working with allies to achieve common goals. The American architects of these charters were attempting to redefine the idea of security in the international sphere. To varying degrees, these institutions and the debates surrounding them set the foundations for the world we know today. By analyzing the interaction of ideas, individuals, and institutions that transformed American foreign policy--and Americans’ view of themselves--Borgwardt illuminates the broader history of modern human rights, trade and the global economy, collective security, and international law. This book captures a lost vision of the American role in the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American I Saw: In 1916-1918 Dear reader, - You probably know all you ought to know about America: you are full of the facts no gentleman's mind should be without. But have you ever wandered about America with nothing to do but to learn to love her If you have, you have already learnt all that this thing in book's clothing can tell you; if you have not, then come with me, and see her as I did. If you do this, I am sure you will forgive me for only giving familiar descriptions from a home diary. I do it as the best way of making you in some degree realise my two years' experience of the minute, gracious care which a passing stranger may receive in America. I always felt like Tobit in Perugino's picture, wandering over the world with successive angels holding my hand, leading me across every street; or, as an American might say, telling me where to get off, ' and when to come in out of the rain.'

Download or read book Beneath the United States written by Lars Schoultz and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1998-06-15 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this sweeping history of United States policy toward Latin America, Lars Schoultz shows that the United States has always perceived Latin America as a fundamentally inferior neighbor, unable to manage its affairs and stubbornly underdeveloped. This perception of inferiority was apparent from the beginning. John Quincy Adams, who first established diplomatic relations with Latin America, believed that Hispanics were "lazy, dirty, nasty...a parcel of hogs." In the early nineteenth century, ex-President John Adams declared that any effort to implant democracy in Latin America was "as absurd as similar plans would be to establish democracies among the birds, beasts, and fishes." Drawing on extraordinarily rich archival sources, Schoultz, one of the country's foremost Latin America scholars, shows how these core beliefs have not changed for two centuries. We have combined self-interest with a "civilizing mission"--a self-abnegating effort by a superior people to help a substandard civilization overcome its defects. William Howard Taft felt the way to accomplish this task was "to knock their heads together until they should maintain peace," while in 1959 CIA Director Allen Dulles warned that "the new Cuban officials had to be treated more or less like children." Schoultz shows that the policies pursued reflected these deeply held convictions. While political correctness censors the expression of such sentiments today, the actions of the United States continue to assume the political and cultural inferiority of Latin America. Schoultz demonstrates that not until the United States perceives its southern neighbors as equals can it anticipate a constructive hemispheric alliance.
