Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Justice in War Time The following essays, of which all except the last two have appeared in various magazines, were written at different times during the course of the war, and are not perhaps wholly consistent in their expectations as to the future, or in their view as to the attitude of the ordinary citizen towards war. In such matters, the development of events inevitably somewhat modifies first impressions. The view that the bulk of the population is naturally pacific, and is only incited to war by politicians and journalists, is widely held among pacifists, but is vehemently rejected by the more bellicose, who point out that men have an instinct of pugnacity, which demands war from time to time. I think it is true that many men have an instinct towards war, but unless it is roused by its appropriate stimulus it may well remain completely latent. The instinct, and the machinations of warmongers, are both needed to bring about war; if either were coped with, the other would be no longer operative for evil. In the following essays I have dealt sometimes with the one, sometimes with the other; but both are essential factors in the problem, and neither can be neglected by any prudent friend of peace. The first of these essays, which was written before the Bryce Report appeared, deals in part with the question of atrocities. Nothing in that report tends to invalidate the conclusion reached in the article, namely: "No doubt both German and Russian atrocities have occurred.

Book excerpt: Justice in War-time, first published in 1916, is a collection of Bertrand Russell's essays on war.

Initialed guardianship and omniscience have been trivial hardly worth mentioning beside the decent and honourable reviews and critiques written in such a way that their words of praise and of dispraise are both valuable to me. My books have been read. Clearly, by evidence of the things that have been said of them. And I have noticed that these critics who have, most clearly, in reading my books, under stood what I aimed at, were inclined to point out that my weak point seemed to be construction. Reviews that were signed (so that I could have an idea from the critics' names of the scales in which I was weighed), and signed by men I could gain something by listening to, knowing their standards; and reviews, unsigned, that showed (by ia terior evidence) th.

Download or read book Truth and the War Classic Reprint written by E. D. Morel and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-21 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Truth and the War There have been a few people in all the belligerent countries who have refused to forswear the principles they have held and proclaimed in times of peace, and who, when their prophecies have been fulfilled, have refused to deny that they ever made them. If there has been in the past foreign policy of this country, as well as in the foreign policies of other nations, something wrong, which has contributed to the present war, then it will be fatal for the future peace of Europe not to admit that truth. If another war is to be averted, there will have to be a thorough searching out of all the causes of this war, with the object of removing them. If a perverted patriotism is to be allowed to blind the people of any country to the mistakes or Sins of their own Governments, then the likelihood of a permanent peace is very remote. Among the men who have kept the impartial and judicial mind during these awful days since August, 1914, none has rendered greater service to the future of peace and internationalism than the writer of this volume. I do not expect that his attitude can be generally approved now, nor the value of his work appreciated. But Time will do justice to both. There is a certain type of very limited mental development which has not learnt that there are more numerals than two. If a word of criticism of the policy of one's own country is put forward, such persons immediately jump to the conclusion that the critic is the friend of every other nation, and that the object of his criticism is to condemn his own country and to defend all others. Criticism of the policy of statesmen is the highest patriotism, for it is aimed at removing those mistakes which detract from the reputation of our own country abroad and the well-being of our own people at home.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Health in War There has never been a period in American history when diffusion of knowledge of the laws of nature was a more im mediate and a more imperative duty than at the present time. Hundreds of thousands of young men and young women are ready to offer their services and, if need be, their lives for their country and for the great principles of loyalty, truth, justice, humanity and liberty for which our President has enlisted us in this world war. But let not a single life be lost needlessly. Let no constitution be broken by disease through ignorance. The patriotic Opportunity of all men of science is to spread the truth, and to spread it as quickly as possible. Let us speak plainly of all the dangers and enemies which surround the soldier and the sailor, of those that kill the soul as well as those which destroy the body. The loss to the world of the finest strains of manhood is the most awful curse of the many curses attending this war. Every young man, if single, must think of his future wife, of his future home, of his future children and so live that, if his life is spared, he may some day give to his coun try one of the greatest gifts it is in a man's and woman's power to give - healthy and patriotic offspring. It is a scientific, no less than a religious principle, that to serve one's country one must be sound in body, sound in mind, and sound in Spirit.

Download or read book Lady Justice written by Dahlia Lithwick and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2023-09-19 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the LA Times Book Prize in Current Interest An instant New York Times Bestseller! “Stirring…Lithwick’s approach, interweaving interviews with legal commentary, allows her subjects to shine...Inspiring.”—New York Times Book Review “In Dahlia Lithwick’s urgent, engaging Lady Justice, Dobbs serves as a devastating bookend to a story that begins in hope.”—Boston Globe Dahlia Lithwick, one of the nation’s foremost legal commentators, tells the gripping and heroic story of the women lawyers who fought the racism, sexism, and xenophobia of Donald Trump’s presidency—and won After the sudden shock of Donald Trump’s victory over Hillary Clinton in 2016, many Americans felt lost and uncertain. It was clear he and his administration were going to pursue a series of retrograde, devastating policies. What could be done? Immediately, women lawyers all around the country, independently of each other, sprang into action, and they had a common goal: they weren’t going to stand by in the face of injustice, while Trump, Mitch McConnell, and the Republican party did everything in their power to remake the judiciary in their own conservative image. Over the next four years, the women worked tirelessly to hold the line against the most chaotic and malign presidency in living memory. There was Sally Yates, the acting attorney general of the United States, who refused to sign off on the Muslim travel ban. And Becca Heller, the founder of a refugee assistance program who brought the fight over the travel ban to the airports. And Roberta Kaplan, the famed commercial litigator, who sued the neo-Nazis in Charlottesville. And, of course, Stacey Abrams, whose efforts to protect the voting rights of millions of Georgians may well have been what won the Senate for the Democrats in 2020. These are just a handful of the stories Lithwick dramatizes in thrilling detail to tell a brand-new and deeply inspiring account of the Trump years. With unparalleled access to her subjects, she has written a luminous book, not about the villains of the Trump years, but about the heroes. And as the country confronts the news that the Supreme Court, which includes three Trump-appointed justices, will soon overturn Roe v. Wade, Lithwick shines a light on not only the major consequences of such a decision, but issues a clarion call to all who might, like the women in this book, feel the urgency to join the fight. A celebration of the tireless efforts, legal ingenuity, and indefatigable spirit of the women whose work all too often went unrecognized at the time, Lady Justice is destined to be treasured and passed from hand to hand for generations to come, not just among lawyers and law students, but among all optimistic and hopeful Americans.
