Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Wider Outlook: Beyond the World War Empire and her Allies will not be diminished, but stimulated, 5by the thought that the Allied Nations have now a great opportunity for serving Humanity - for promoting the future peace and progress of the civilized world. The preparation for peace which (at the moment of Writing) it is possible to make is not any adjustment of the rival claims of the nations at war. The fighting men must continue to do their part for some considerable period before statesmen can have any hope of effecting a settlement which would not invite a recurrence of strife in the future. The true preparation for peace consists in the preparing of men's minds to take a large and wise view of international relations, in urging the publicists and politicians of the Treaty Powers to exchange views among themselves and with representatives of neutral States on the future regulation of the world, and especially in remembering that no ad hoc settlement of inter national affairs can ever be final - that What is really wanted is a system for adjusting future differences of nations, whenever and wherever they may arise. It is not too early to turn our thoughts to these matters. It may be too late when the war is ended; when citizens and statesmen are full of pride in national achievements, conscious of their really enormous debt to army and navy, and naturally disposed to defer to militarist counsels.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Monroe Doctrine and the Great War There is a close connection between the Great War and the Monroe Doctrine. Our isolation from European difficulties is no longer a fact. We are a part of the world and compelled to carry a share of its burdens. This doctrine has been a great feature of American diplomatic history for a century. In the minds of many, a League of Nations means the giving up of his historic policy, but Professor Hall has shown that it is essentially akin to the policy laid down in the covenant. As citizens we have talked a good deal about the Monroe Doctrine without really knowing what it means. In a hundred years new connotations have come into its phraseology and the duty of a citizen is to know what his country is holding out as a world policy. Professor Hall has added a readable, analytic book to the series that will help the American to get a wider view of our world policy.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The War: Its Causes and Consequences The age is revolutionary. The present is an epoch in the world's history of transition - a sort of moral exodus of the nations - which has lasted now some three centuries; and no stability in governments anywhere, much less here, can be looked for until the passage from the old regime to the new has been completed. To a close observer, the social ebullition in this coun try has long been of a threatening character. From the birth of our government, its elements have been in an uneasy state; and the bosom of society has more than once been agitated by the throes of coming convulsions. The time has arrived for these inevitable disturbances, so long concealed, to manifest their dangerous activity. An open rupture is at last reached; and however it may be allayed temporarily, will be again and again renewed until the foundations of society are broken up, or the principles which now lie at its base are extruded, or so modified by the introduction of others that their excesses will be entirely counteracted.

Mcpherson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-03 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of the Great War Dealing Particularly With Its Military and Diplomatic Aspects, and the Part Played in It By, the United StatesThe purpose of this volume is to offer the general reader an outline story of the War. In another book, The Strategy of the Great War, I have endeavoured to interpret the struggle in the broader sense-as a singular and enormously interesting departure from previous mili tary experience - due to the revolutionary conditions introduced by a sudden reversion to rigid positional, or trench warfare. The strategy of the war, determined in part by the military policies of the belligerents, but in still larger part by conditions over which the general staffs had little control, is a study in itself.In this book the purely strategical aspects of the war are discussed only in so far as it is necessary to establish the truer-relation of battles and campaigns to one another and to the ultimate result; The main idea is to give a clear and accurate running account of the war's origin and progress.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The War Outside My Window written by Janet Elizabeth Croon and published by Casemate Publishers. This book was released on 2018-06-01 with total page 489 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A remarkable account of the collapse of the Old South and the final years of a young boy’s privileged but afflicted life. LeRoy Wiley Gresham was born in 1847 to an affluent slave-holding family in Macon, Georgia. After a horrific leg injury left him an invalid, the educated, inquisitive, perceptive, and exceptionally witty twelve-year-old began keeping a diary in 1860—just as secession and the Civil War began tearing the country and his world apart. He continued to write even as his health deteriorated until both the war and his life ended in 1865. His unique manuscript of the demise of the Old South is published here for the first time in The War Outside My Window. LeRoy read books, devoured newspapers and magazines, listened to gossip, and discussed and debated important social and military issues with his parents and others. He wrote daily for five years, putting pen to paper with a vim and tongue-in-cheek vigor that impresses even now, more than 150 years later. His practical, philosophical, and occasionally Twain-like hilarious observations cover politics and the secession movement, the long and increasingly destructive Civil War, family pets, a wide variety of hobbies and interests, and what life was like at the center of a socially prominent wealthy family in the important Confederate manufacturing center of Macon. The young scribe often voiced concern about the family’s pair of plantations outside town, and recorded his interactions and relationships with servants as he pondered the fate of human bondage and his family’s declining fortunes. Unbeknownst to LeRoy, he was chronicling his own slow and painful descent toward death in tandem with the demise of the Southern Confederacy. He recorded—often in horrific detail—an increasingly painful and debilitating disease that robbed him of his childhood. The teenager’s declining health is a consistent thread coursing through his fascinating journals. “I feel more discouraged [and] less hopeful about getting well than I ever did before,” he wrote on March 17, 1863. “I am weaker and more helpless than I ever was.” Morphine and a score of other “remedies” did little to ease his suffering. Abscesses developed; nagging coughs and pain consumed him. Alternating between bouts of euphoria and despondency, he often wrote, “Saw off my leg.” The War Outside My Window, edited and annotated by Janet Croon with helpful footnotes and a detailed family biographical chart, captures the spirit and the character of a young privileged white teenager witnessing the demise of his world even as his own body slowly failed him. Just as Anne Frank has come down to us as the adolescent voice of World War II, LeRoy Gresham will now be remembered as the young voice of the Civil War South.

Download or read book The Vital Issues of the War Classic Reprint written by Richard Wilson Boynton and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Vital Issues of the War The first seven sermons in this volume were preached on successive Sundays in April and May and the eighth in September of the present year. Now that the church seems, in the eyes of many, to have fallen from the high esteem in which it was held by a former generation, no doubt a volume of sermons, even on "The Vital Issues of the War," runs grave risk of not being read. Since the war began, however, sharp criticism has been visited upon the pulpit for evading the discussion of its compelling moral and spiritual problems; it needs, therefore, to be made known that all pulpits, to say the least, have not deserved the reproach of failing to utilize this unique opportunity. So my book goes forth, quite without apology, for what it is - the messages of a preacher to his people in the regular course of his ministry, printed as they were delivered, with only the slight revision desirable for publication. Such utterances inevitably reflect a point of view determined in part by the time at which they were spoken. In this they are in nowise exceptional. Magazine articles, or the chapters of a book, must be finished sometime, and must bear internal evidences of their date of composition. Later impressions, especially of the swiftly-moving panorama of a world-war, would modify certain details. Thus, one could not speak now with as much optimism of the Bolshevik rule in Russia as was possible when Sermon IV was preached last April. Still, I have decided to let the sermon stand, as perhaps an over-sympathetic interpretation of the obscure strivings of the Russian democracy, the final outcome of which is still far from apparent. In such a case, one would rather err by undue generosity than by cold-blooded cynicism, which the sermon was intended to rebuke.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Biology of War The book, as we have hinted, is reasoned out like Euclid, wherefore it is useless, interesting as it may be, to dip into it and read a chapter here and another there. No real idea of the author's meaning can be gained thus, and it would be an injustice to what we think most readers will agree is, beyond doubt, the most remarkable book which this war has yet produced, a volume likely to live in history even when the scientific ideas which it contains have been superseded by the wider knowledge of generations to come.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The War and Its Lessons The American struggle for Nationality, which commenced with the downfall of Fort Sumter, marks an era in the history of civilization, as critical as any the world has ever witnessed. Those who are agitated by the actual contacts and immediate perils of civil war have scarce had opportunity to measure the immensity of interests involved; but those who are calmly examining the worlds Present by the worlds Past, and by all the principles and illustrations which facts, reason and experience may furnish, are solemnly and weightily impressed with the conviction that we are engaged in transactions which, for weal or wo, are to tell immensely on all that relates to morals, liberty, government and law. The epoch is one for which we need to arouse all the energies of the body, the intellect and the soul, that as true men of a trying age, we may be equal to the emergencies, which in the course of events, have fallen on our times. The part already enacted, has been upon no ordinary scale. At the very commencement of the conflict ominous clouds hovered over our political horizon. Wise men quaked because of fear, and strong men strung their nerves to a higher key, feeling that we were on the verge of a conflict which involved the interests of themselves, their country, their posterity, and all that related to the welfare of civil and religious liberty all over the broad earth. Traitors, with stealthy hand, had been loosing the cords and unbraiding the strands of our strength until it almost seemed as if the grand cable of American power had dwindled to a thread. But slender as it appeared, the central, close-woven braid of republican Nationality was not yet sundered.

Download or read book Addresses on War Classic Reprint written by Charles Sumner and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-05-03 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Addresses on War Charles sumner began his public life by what he himself called a declaration of war against war. His great oration in Tremont Temple on The True Grandeur of Nations marked, his biographer rightly Observes, the most important epoch in Sumner's life. Had he died before this event, his memory would have been only a tradition with the few early friends who survive him. The 4th of July, 1845, gave him a national, and more than a national, fame. Epoch making in Sumner's own life, we think it may be safely said that no oration which he ever gave has greater intrinsic importance, and perhaps no other will be read so long. Of all pleas made by Ameri can men for the rule of peace on earth, it is the noblest and the most comprehensive, save Sumner's own later address on The War System of Nations. There is almost no argument against war which these orations and their successor do not somehow make use of; and the advocate of peace in all the years returns to them, and returns again, for support and inspiration. The bringing together in a single volume, as is now done for the first time, of all of Sumner's three great addresses on war and peace is a distinct public service; and every philanthropist and every true philo-american will wish the volume the widest currency and influence.
