Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the Great War It was tragic that the men and women who fought the war were too busy to study it. The greatest peril of the new era is that they will still be too busy with reconstruction to devote even casual attention to the great event itself, in the light of which alone can the decisions be made by which the new era is to be shaped. People are weary of working and weary of reading. Yet there was never a time when effort was more necessary nor when a little would have such significant results upon national and international events.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pictorial History of the Great War Devotion of time to research by the very best authors and critics has been given that its facts may be clearly and accurately presented. It contains no state ments based on rumors, no accounts taken from unauthoritative sources. The New World undoubtedly was a great determining factor in the overthrow and crushing of junkerism, and for that reason this volume should be of the great est interest to the peoples of Canada and the United States. Over two and one half million sons of North America crossed to France. Their concentration and transportation was one of the greatest military feats in history. Canada, as a part of the British Empire, naturally became involved first. Her record of service will fill every patriot with a feeling of pride and inspiration. The active share in the war by the United States, though it covered only a little over a year and a half, is the nation's most glorious achievement.

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.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Winning a Cause, World War Stories Lest We Forget, the first volume of World War stories, gave an outline of the struggle up to the time of the signing of the armistice, November 1918, and contained in general, chronological order most of the stories that to children from ten to sixteen years of age would be' of greatest interest, and give the clearest understanding of the titanic contest.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the Great War, Vol. 2: Diplomatic and State Papers Overshadowing all other issues which brought the European nations into conflict loomed the fundamental differences between Great Britain and Germany. A large body of expert opinion, not inadequately substantiated by a cumulation of symptoms and events, held that the war as between those two countries was due to commercial jealousy, which had fomented so long that any unrelated incident would suffice to bring on war. Certainly that is what happened. In the German apologies for the war Great Britain was bitterly accused of envying German prosperity and of welcoming the war as an opportunity to crush German commercial and industrial competition. The strenuous efforts of British business interests to capture German trade have been cited as proof. For the British it was submitted that Great Britain entered the war only after extreme hesitation, and that the war on German trade was a result rather than the object of the conflict. Germany, the British charged, was waging war for economical aggrandizement. Bearing upon this accusation, the dynamic forces which swung Germany into the front rank of nations as an ambitious competitor of the world's trade in a comparatively short time may be reviewed. Besides a sentimental yearning for national unity, two factors operated together to mold the many petty German states into a united nation. The spectacular part was played by the Prussian army, under the control of domineering land-owning aristocrats like Prince Bismarck. Equally important, if less striking, was the work of the industrial capitalists. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
