Download or read book Why President Wilson Failed Classic Reprint written by Austin Harrison and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-07-18 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Why President Wilson Failed And when the President had been photographed with one trouser rolled up and the other down, and at the first sitting had laid no papers on the table, had said nothing, the excitement rose to fever pitch, for this man, it was said, not only knew how to be silent but could silence others; thus the days wore on. Then the incredible happened. The President had no papers. He had come without a plan. The terrible scroll which, it was expected, would lay down the foundations of the League of Nations, was found to be non-existent. Almost a yell of delight went forth in Paris at the discovery that the President's armory was auto-suggestion, thatand nothing more. The British looked at the French, the French smiled appreciatingly. Gen eral Smuts was at once hauled in to frame the design of the Covenant. And the moment that the French grasped the President's weakness, they set to work to underpin him. Talk did the trick, endless harangues, ceaseless argumentation; gesture, posture, gesticulation. The President had no plan to lean upon. After a few weeks his cardinal principle - open covenants openly arrived at - was lost, and the next step was to establish the old secret diplomacy, after which all was plain sailing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Peace-Making at Paris In writing this book I have made some use of articles which I contributed to a number of papers during the proceedings in Paris. Particularly to the Westminster Gazette, to the Contemporary Review, to the Daily Graphic do I wish to make grateful acknowledgment. This is not a day-by-day account of the negotiations; occasionally I have had to sacrifice purely chronological order, which would have meant jumping from subject to subject like a grasshopper (to employ a figure of speech which became famous), and have grouped a series of events under one head. Nor have I discussed in detail the multiplicity of questions which arose: that would be an interminable task which would be appreciated by few readers.

This book was released on 2017-10-30 with total page 578 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Peace Conference of Paris, Vol. 4 The publication of the first three volumes of this work resulted in the production of much helpful suggestion and criticism from both sides of the water, of which advantage will be taken in this and the two remaining volumes. But, as the attempt to write contemporary history is in some sense both audacious and strange; it may be well to state briefly What experience has shown that this history can, and cannot, do. The Peace Conference was undoubtedly in the main the work of Four, or perhaps more often of Three, men. In not a few important decisions, as for instance Reparation, Com pulsory Military Service, and Poland, it is well known that the solutions adopted were directly due to the influence of one or other of these commanding personalities. But even if the records of the conversations of these men were available (and some of them certainly never will be) we should not have the Whole truth. Agreements are not always in writing, steno graphic reports do not invariably show the trend of a debate, and the motives of individuals are seldom entirely visible in their arguments. Much valuable information has already been published by such men as Tardieu or Lansing and House, Who stood on the steps of the throne, and men like C. T. Thompson and Wilson Harris, Who waited in the ante-chambers. More is certain to be forthcoming. But it is practically certain that some of the arcana of the Conference Will never really be revealed. One suggestion made is that the motives of men can be understood by estimating the pressure to which they were subjected. This would involve estimating the relative pressure exercised on their plenipotentiaries, first by the American.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wilson and the Issues With the possible exception of 1860, the Presidential campaign of 1916 presents issues of larger importance and more tremendous meaning than any other in the history of America. The ultimates involved go far beyond the mere individual victory or defeat of Woodrow Wilson and Charles Evans Hughes, for on the decisions that must be made depends the whole future of democracy. It is not simply a President of the United States that the people are called upon to elect; it is fundamental policies for the United States that the people are called upon to declare.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Henry Wilson: One of God's Best In gathering together a few facts rela tive to a life so unspeakably beautiful, so truly Christian, so extensively influential, I may be pardoned if perchau-ce around the commonplace statements I am guilty of throwing the halo of filial affection, the admiration of a close and satisfied critic, or the unbounded adoration, formed at close range, due to a soul as nearly perfect as man could be: of Whom it might be said, the world was not worthy, or perhaps in a higher order of judgment, he was a man after God's own heart. This little sketch is made with the prayer that to the toilers on the uphill steeps of Life, the Reality of the Eternal Dawn, the sure and certain meeting of the Blessedly Departed, and the glorious reunion of all those who have been faithful unto death, may be made so vital that for the joy that is set before them they may a little while longer bear the cross and endure the shame until Death is swallowed up in victory.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Wilson Bulletin, 1908, Vol. 20: Official Organ of the Wilson Ornithological Club Wilson opened 'his books, explained the nature of his occu pation, and requested Audubon's patronage. With hop-es humble enough, asking only support equal to his merits, and the laudability of his intentions, expecting no more; and not altogether certain of that. 1 Here were the first two volumes of a work which the great Cuvier afterward pronounced equal in elegance to the most beautiful works of ornithology published in the oldworld. Drawn by one to whom the art of'bird painting had been acquired with fingers stiffened by toil and manual labor, 2 and perhaps no other work on ornithology Of equal extent is equally free from error, and its truthfulness is illuminated by a spark of the fire divine. This means immo'tality. 3 Audubon continues: I felt surprised and gratified at the Sight of his volumes, turn-ed Over a few of the plates, and had already taken a pen to write my name in his favor, when my partner, rather abruptly, said to me in French, 'my dear Audubon, what induces you to subscribe to this work? Your drawings are certainly far better, and again, you must know as much of the habits of American birds as this gentleman.' Whether Mr'. Wilson understood French or not, or if the suddeness with which I paused dis appointed him, I cannot tell; but I clearly perceived he was not pleased. Vanity and the encomiums of my friend pre vented me from subscribing. Audubon's frankness has ever been his most winning weapon, yet after cheerfully shifting part of the blame to the vanity of youth and the remainder to his hard-headed friend Rosier, he destroys the whole effect in the following words: but, dear read-er, I did not sub scribe to his work, for, even at that time, my collection was greater than his. Eleven years later he vainly endeavored to obtain sight of this work in New Orleans, and the cruel irony of fortune, still later while in Europe he wrote in his journal: How often I thought during these visits, of Alexander Wilson, when traveling as I am now, to procure subscribers, he, as well as myself, was received with rude coldness and 1wilson's Introduction, American Ornithology.

Download or read book Paris 1919 written by Margaret MacMillan and published by Random House. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 626 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A landmark work of narrative history, Paris 1919 is the first full-scale treatment of the Peace Conference in more than twenty-five years. It offers a scintillating view of those dramatic and fateful days when much of the modern world was sketched out, when countries were created—Iraq, Yugoslavia, Israel—whose troubles haunt us still. Winner of the Samuel Johnson Prize • Winner of the PEN Hessell Tiltman Prize • Winner of the Duff Cooper Prize Between January and July 1919, after “the war to end all wars,” men and women from around the world converged on Paris to shape the peace. Center stage, for the first time in history, was an American president, Woodrow Wilson, who with his Fourteen Points seemed to promise to so many people the fulfillment of their dreams. Stern, intransigent, impatient when it came to security concerns and wildly idealistic in his dream of a League of Nations that would resolve all future conflict peacefully, Wilson is only one of the larger-than-life characters who fill the pages of this extraordinary book. David Lloyd George, the gregarious and wily British prime minister, brought Winston Churchill and John Maynard Keynes. Lawrence of Arabia joined the Arab delegation. Ho Chi Minh, a kitchen assistant at the Ritz, submitted a petition for an independent Vietnam. For six months, Paris was effectively the center of the world as the peacemakers carved up bankrupt empires and created new countries. This book brings to life the personalities, ideals, and prejudices of the men who shaped the settlement. They pushed Russia to the sidelines, alienated China, and dismissed the Arabs. They struggled with the problems of Kosovo, of the Kurds, and of a homeland for the Jews. The peacemakers, so it has been said, failed dismally; above all they failed to prevent another war. Margaret MacMillan argues that they have unfairly been made the scapegoats for the mistakes of those who came later. She refutes received ideas about the path from Versailles to World War II and debunks the widely accepted notion that reparations imposed on the Germans were in large part responsible for the Second World War. Praise for Paris 1919 “It’s easy to get into a war, but ending it is a more arduous matter. It was never more so than in 1919, at the Paris Conference. . . . This is an enthralling book: detailed, fair, unfailingly lively. Professor MacMillan has that essential quality of the historian, a narrative gift.” —Allan Massie, The Daily Telegraph (London)
