Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Crowd in Peace and War Man has never decided whether to be a gregarious animal or not. Individualism and socialism attract him alternately. lie swings like a pendulum from the one to the other. At times he merges himself completely in some group or crowd and loses his identity there like a sheep in a flock. Then he lives and moves and has his being in the crowd. He follows its routine; esprit de corps determines his ideals and dictates his emotions. He is like a soldier in a regiment, or a cell in living tissue: a mere unit whose life, joy, and passion it is to contribute his portion of vitality and power to the larger life of the whole group, or as our brave soldiers say, "to do his bit." At other times man adopts the attitude of complete detachment from his fellows, like Thoreau at Walden, or a Theban hermit in his desert cave. The crowd then is nothing to him. His aim is to be self-sufficing - to think his own thoughts, go his own ways, provide for his own needs, and perhaps save his own soul.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1915 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER X GOVERNMENT AND THE CROWD IN the preceding chapter it was necessary to encroach somewhat upon the subject with which we have now to deal, seeing that Government is an essential part of the organisation of a national crowd, and may be said to resemble the skeleton of the whole structure. It is obvious that man, the individual, will regard government differently from his twofold point of view: as a crowd-unit, and as an independent living creature. Similarly the governing body or sovereign may regard the governed from the same two points of view, as a public or as a multitude of individuals. We have had experience of legislation intended to promote directly the well-being of individuals, and of other legislation which regarded only classes. Finally the power which governments wield and by which they impose their will upon a people may be supplied by organised crowds or by the assent of a multitude of unorganised individuals. These general considerations will suffice to suggest what large questions are opened when we propose to discuss the interrelations of crowds and governing individuals or bodies. Broadly speaking, the governments of the peoples of the world from the beginning till now may be divided into two classes: Kingdoms and Crowddoms. In the one individuals ruled; in the other public opinion. It matters not how the King be chosen or obtain his office, whether by birth, by murder, intrigue, or revolution, by any of the many forms called of right divine, or by election or selection. I shall call that man in every case a king who exercises his individual volition as a ruler over a crowd. Kingdoms and Crowddoms are both very ancient forms, and one is not necessarily older than the other; for, though throughout the ancient and...

Download or read book Discourses on War Classic Reprint written by William Ellery Channing and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Discourses on War Ruskin, in one of his eloquent passages, declares that war would quickly vanish from among the civilized nations if the great body of women could once appreciate its enormity and unite in effort against it. The same thing may be said of the Christian Church and its ministers. With a common high resolve upon their part to be true to the principles of the Church's great founder, the Prince of Peace, war and the military system could not endure for a decade as a regular feature in the life of the commonwealth of nations. There is nothing so melancholy, nothing so discouraging to the worker for the peace and order of the world, as the easy readiness of multitudes of Christian churches and ministers to follow the multitude to do evil; to abdicate their ideals and high functions when their nation is once embarked or once bent on unjust war and turn with the crowd from the harp and organ to the drum and fife. The hard, severe, and unpopular but ennobling and commanding duties of moral leadership are forgotten, and the selfish motives and passions of the people are condoned and whitewashed, and mid prayer and song the worse is made to seem the better reason.

Download or read book A Savage War of Peace written by Alistair Horne and published by Pan Macmillan. This book was released on 2012-08-09 with total page 565 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thoroughly sharp and honest treatment of a brutal conflict.The Algerian War (1954-1962) was a savage colonial war, killing an estimated one million Muslim Algerians and expelling the same number of European settlers from their homes. It was to cause the fall of six French prime minsters and the collapse of the Fourth Repbulic. It came close to bringing down de Gaulle and - twice - to plunging France into civil war.The story told here contains heroism and tragedy, and poses issues of enduring relevance beyond the confines of either geography or time. Horne writes with the extreme intelligence and perspicacity that are his trademarks.
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.
