Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Study of the Great War: A Topical Outline With Copious Quotations and Reading References The World War has led to an intense sharpening of interest among Americans in international rela tions and world history. Races, countries, and poli cies hitherto almost unknown to the great body of American citizens, have in a moment become of vital importance to all. And with this new importance has come a truly American desire to understand the significance of the new world movements. Hence, from the public generally, from students in schools and colleges, from teachers, lecturers, and conductors of classes in clubs and camps, has come the demand for information and interpretation. The aim of the compiler of the following pages has been to present in brief compass such materials as will best meet this demand.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Summary of the History of the Great War Germany believed that war was necessary for, a nation in order to unify it and to give it moral health. Bernhardi, a German writer, said that a war would elevate the people and destroy the diseases that threaten the national health. War was valuable, also, as giving a nation the chance to expand by the addition of conquered territory. Friedrich Nietzsche, a German philosopher, wrote: I do not advise you to work, but to fight. I do not advise you to com promise and make peace, but to conquer. Bernhardi said in his book on Germany and the Next War: Might gives the right to occupy or to conquer. Might is at once the supreme right. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Mcpherson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-03 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of the Great War Dealing Particularly With Its Military and Diplomatic Aspects, and the Part Played in It By, the United StatesThe purpose of this volume is to offer the general reader an outline story of the War. In another book, The Strategy of the Great War, I have endeavoured to interpret the struggle in the broader sense-as a singular and enormously interesting departure from previous mili tary experience - due to the revolutionary conditions introduced by a sudden reversion to rigid positional, or trench warfare. The strategy of the war, determined in part by the military policies of the belligerents, but in still larger part by conditions over which the general staffs had little control, is a study in itself.In this book the purely strategical aspects of the war are discussed only in so far as it is necessary to establish the truer-relation of battles and campaigns to one another and to the ultimate result; The main idea is to give a clear and accurate running account of the war's origin and progress.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A School History, of the Great War This brief history of the world's greatest war was prepared upon the suggestion of the National Board for Historical Service. Its purpose is to expand into an historical narrative the outline of the study of the war which the authors prepared for the Board and which was published by the United States Bureau of Education as Teachers' Leaflet No. 4, in August, 1918. The ar rangement of chapters and the choice of topics have been largely determined by the various headings in the outline for the course in grades seven and eight.

Download or read book A History of the Great War Vol 1 Classic Reprint written by John Buchan and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 636 pages. 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.

Download or read book Remembering War written by J. M. Winter and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a masterful volume on remembrance and war in the twentieth century. Jay Winter locates the fascination with the subject of memory within a long-term trajectory that focuses on the Great War. Images, languages, and practices that appeared during and after the two world wars focused on the need to acknowledge the victims of war and shaped the ways in which future conflicts were imagined and remembered. At the core of the "memory boom" is an array of collective meditations on war and the victims of war, Winter says. The book begins by tracing the origins of contemporary interest in memory, then describes practices of remembrance that have linked history and memory, particularly in the first half of the twentieth century. The author also considers "theaters of memory"-film, television, museums, and war crimes trials in which the past is seen through public representations of memories. The book concludes with reflections on the significance of these practices for the cultural history of the twentieth century as a whole.
