Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cost of the World War to the American People The need for such an analysis, conceived and executed in the spirit of historical research, was increasingly obvious as the war developed, releasing complex forces of national life not only for the vast process of destruction, but also for the stimulation of new capacities for pro duction. This new economic activity, which under normal conditions of peace might have been a gain to society, and the surprising ca pacity exhibited by the belligerent nations for enduring long and in creasing loss - often while presenting the outward semblance of new prosperity - made necessary a reconsideration of the whole field of war economics. A double obligation was therefore placed upon the Division of Economics and History. It was obliged to concentrate its work upon the problem thus presented, and to study it as a whole; in other words, to apply to it the tests and disciplines of history. J ust as the war itself was a single event, though penetrating by seemingly unconnected ways to the remotest parts of the world, so the analysisof it must be developed according to a plan at once all embracing and yet adjustable to the practical limits of the available data.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the 380,000 African American soldiers who fought in World War I, Woodrow Wilson's charge to make the world "safe for democracy" carried life-or-death meaning. Chad L. Williams reveals the central role of African American soldiers in the global conflict and how they, along with race activists and ordinary citizens, committed to fighting for democracy at home and beyond. Using a diverse range of sources, Torchbearers of Democracy reclaims the legacy of African American soldiers and veterans and connects their history to issues such as the obligations of citizenship, combat and labor, diaspora and internationalism, homecoming and racial violence, "New Negro" militancy, and African American memories of the war.

Book excerpt: 1918: The end of the war to end all wars. The end of an era for victors and vanquished alike. When Germany launched the Ludendorf Offensives—the most massive military bombardment of World War I—they seemed certain to win. But when American troops began arriving in droves, the Allies' certain defeat became a decisive victory. No Man's Land takes us into the trenches, behind enemy lines, into military strategy sessions and through the corridors of power in London, Paris, Berlin, and Washington in a brilliant account of one of the most fateful years in Western history. Drawing on new sources—diaries, memoirs, vivid personal experiences—here is a book that for sheer excitement, drama, vigor, and emotional impact rivals the greatest novels, history marvelously told by the incomparable John Toland.

Download or read book Direct and Indirect Costs of the Great World War Classic Reprint written by Ernest Ludlow Bogart and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-04 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Direct and Indirect Costs of the Great World War A few years ago pamphleteers and men in public life were declaring that there could not be another great war because of the tremendous costs that would be involved. Saner students of history pointed out that cost was relative and that no nation had ever been prevented from going into war from fear of the expense. The judgment of the latter has been vindicated by recent history. The war that has just come to an end shows that anticipated costs, however great, are not a preventive. A recital of the tremendous costs of the great war can not therefore be regarded as worth while if the purpose of the recital is to warn against further wars. Nevertheless, it is well that the world should know as fully as possible the monetary and other costs of its bloody debauch. The recital will serve as a cautionary signal, if not as a preventive, for the future. For this reason it seemed well to the officers of the Endowment that an attempt should be made to gather together in one volume at least the more obvious costs of the great war. Professor E. L. Bogart was entrusted with the task. His first study, in accordance with the wishes of the Endowment was a short presentation. The demand for his work was so great that a new edition was called for and Professor Bogart took the opportunity to go into the matter more exhaustively. The present presentation is therefore virtually a new work much enlarged and improved not only in a physical but in a scholarly sense. Professor Bogart's book shows the handiwork of a scholar and yet presents the subject in a way that will interest the general reader. It would be platitudinous for the editor to comment upon the facts presented or to summarize the gruesome story. The figures of direct expenditures have no significance to the human mind. They are too great to grasp. Still more is this true when we consider the total costs, direct and indirect, even when we attempt to reduce them to an estimate of dollars.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cost of the War and How It Was Met With the impossibility of securing more than a comparatively small proportion of the war expenditures from taxation, it became necessary everywhere to resort to borrowing. This was conse quently done by all countries on a gigantic scale; although here again the fiscal and economic conditions in the various countries varied so widely that they employed quite diverse expedients.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Direct Costs of the Present War However, a study of the costs of the war is interesting and important from another viewpoint. It helps us more easily to determine not only the burden we are creating for ourselves and our posterity, but it assists us in deciding how great a propor tion of our expenditures may well come from taxation rather than loans. Of course, there is a limit to income from the former source even in pace time. We can not without disaster push tax ation to the impairment of capital; but this limit, after all, is somewhat elastic.

Download or read book Threshold of War written by Waldo Heinrichs and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1990-03-01 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the first comprehensive treatment of the American entry into World War II to appear in over thirty-five years, Waldo Heinrichs' volume places American policy in a global context, covering both the European and Asian diplomatic and military scenes, with Roosevelt at the center. Telling a tale of ever-broadening conflict, this vivid narrative weaves back and forth from the battlefields in the Soviet Union, to the intense policy debates within Roosevelt's administration, to the sinking of the battleship Bismarck, to the precarious and delicate negotiations with Japan. Refuting the popular portrayal of Roosevelt as a vacillating, impulsive man who displayed no organizational skills in his decision-making during this period, Heinrichs presents him as a leader who acted with extreme caution and deliberation, who always kept his options open, and who, once Hitler's invasion of the Soviet Union stalled in July, 1941, acted rapidly and with great determination. This masterful account of a key moment in American history captures the tension faced by Roosevelt, Churchill, Stimson, Hull, and numerous others as they struggled to shape American policy in the climactic nine months before Pearl Harbor.
