This book was released on 2021-10-20 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edith Louisa Cavell (1865–1915) was a British nurse, humanitarian and spy famous for saving the lives of soldiers from both sides during the First World War. She also aided 200 Allied soldiers escape from behind German lines, for which she was arrested and sentenced to death by firing squad. Cavell's execution was globally condemned and featured extensively in the press. Before her death, she famously said, “Patriotism is not enough. I must have no hatred or bitterness towards anyone", which has been inscribed on a memorial to her near Trafalgar Square. Part of our “Who Was She?” series that looks at remarkable woman from throughout history, “Who was Edith Cavell?” contains a fantastic collection of essays by various authors celebrating the heroic endeavours of this brave nurse, exploring how she was able to pull off such incredible feats and what it was that inspired her truly compassionate acts. Brilliant Women - Read & Co. is proud to be publishing this brand new collection of classic essays for a new generation of students and history lovers.
Download or read book Edith Cavell and her Legend written by Christine E. Hallett and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-11-23 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the myriad identities and portrayals of Edith Cavell, as they have been constructed and handed down by propagandists, biographers and artists. Cavell was first introduced to the British public through a series of Foreign Office statements which claimed to establish the “facts” of her case. Her own voice, along with those of her family, colleagues and friends, were muted, as a monolithic image of a national heroine and martyr emerged. The book identifies two main areas of tension in her commemoration: firstly, the contrast between complexity of her own behaviour and motivations and the simplicity of the “Cavell Legend” that was constructed around her; and, secondly, the mismatch between the attempts of individuals and professional organisations to commemorate her life and work, and the public construction of a “heroine” who could be of value to the nation state.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Edith Cavell Nurse From Massachusetts: A Record of One Year's Personal Service With the British Expeditionary Force in France, Boulogne the Somme, 1916-1917; With an Account of the Imprisonment, Trial, and Death of Edith Cavell "Edith Cavell's story is of a singular beauty. With solicitude for her enemy's women, the German pupil-nurses in her training school at Brussels, she protected them from possible unkindness at the hands of the outraged Belgians, by herself taking them, at the beginning of the war, to the borders of their own land. And back at Brussels she nursed her enemy's wounded. "At her trial, she made no specious defence. With unclouded soul, she consented to her own death by giving the court the truth - that she had indeed helped her countrymen and the men of Belgium, her adopted home. For these friends she laid down her life. Is there greater love than this? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book A Scrap of Paper written by Isabel V. Hull and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2014-04-16 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In A Scrap of Paper, Isabel V. Hull compares wartime decision making in Germany, Great Britain, and France, weighing the impact of legal considerations in each. She demonstrates how differences in state structures and legal traditions shaped the way the three belligerents fought the war. Hull focuses on seven cases: Belgian neutrality, the land war in the west, the occupation of enemy territory, the blockade, unrestricted submarine warfare, the introduction of new weaponry, and reprisals. A Scrap of Paper reconstructs the debates over military decision-making and clarifies the role law played—where it constrained action, where it was manipulated, where it was ignored, and how it developed in combat—in each case. A Scrap of Paper is a passionate defense of the role that the law must play to govern interstate relations in both peace and war.
