EPILOGUE Wilhelm--League of Nations--Freedom of the Seas--Moral--Finis '"TOWARDS the close of the eighteenth century.. the incomparable historian of Roman glory and decline paused in his great work in order to indulge in that most elusive luxury--prophecy. He had been engaged in tracing the career of a great people through centuries of varying fortune; he was weary of slaughter and fondly looked forward to a world in which wars would be humanely conducted, fewer in number, or even wholly suppressed. He wrote at the close of a century in which soldiering had been the chronic occupation of Christian states and he was convinced that the time had arrived for such a league of nations as would effectually control the savage impulses of any prospective Genseric, Alaric, or Attila. He referred particularly to the royal philosopher who sat upon the throne of Prussia and a blue stocking Czarina whose court on the Neva suggested the Happy Valley of Rasselas not to say the Groves of Academe. Gibbon reviewed the world of his day and saw with joy the noble triumphs of art, literature, and science. He saw religious persecution waning and monarchy daily assuming forms more in harmony with popular aspiration. The Huns and Vandals, thought he, had been eliminated from their ancient habitats or weaned from their pristine propensities; and the forests whence had rushed the hungry hordes who overran the Europe of fifteen centuries ago had given place to cultivated farms, smiling villages, and centers of Kultur. The skin-clad chief had been replaced by a Frederick the Great--the Cossack raider by a Catherine Romanov. Whence then could ever come another menace to civilized Europe? Surely not from Berlin or the now enlightened Empire of Russia! The great...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Prussianism and Pacifism: The Two Wilhelms Between the Revolutions of 1848 and 1918 "And it was no small affliction to consider that he had lost in one hour all that glory and power which he had been getting in so many ... bloody battles; and that he who but a little before was guarded with such an army of foot, so many squadrons of horse, and such a mighty fleet, was now flying in so mean a condition and with such a slender retinue, that his very enemies who fought him could not know him."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The New York Times Book Review • The Economist • The Christian Science Monitor • Bloomberg Businessweek • The Globe and Mail From the bestselling and award-winning author of Paris 1919 comes a masterpiece of narrative nonfiction, a fascinating portrait of Europe from 1900 up to the outbreak of World War I. The century since the end of the Napoleonic wars had been the most peaceful era Europe had known since the fall of the Roman Empire. In the first years of the twentieth century, Europe believed it was marching to a golden, happy, and prosperous future. But instead, complex personalities and rivalries, colonialism and ethnic nationalisms, and shifting alliances helped to bring about the failure of the long peace and the outbreak of a war that transformed Europe and the world. The War That Ended Peace brings vividly to life the military leaders, politicians, diplomats, bankers, and the extended, interrelated family of crowned heads across Europe who failed to stop the descent into war: in Germany, the mercurial Kaiser Wilhelm II and the chief of the German general staff, Von Moltke the Younger; in Austria-Hungary, Emperor Franz Joseph, a man who tried, through sheer hard work, to stave off the coming chaos in his empire; in Russia, Tsar Nicholas II and his wife; in Britain, King Edward VII, Prime Minister Herbert Asquith, and British admiral Jacky Fisher, the fierce advocate of naval reform who entered into the arms race with Germany that pushed the continent toward confrontation on land and sea. There are the would-be peacemakers as well, among them prophets of the horrors of future wars whose warnings went unheeded: Alfred Nobel, who donated his fortune to the cause of international understanding, and Bertha von Suttner, a writer and activist who was the first woman awarded Nobel’s new Peace Prize. Here too we meet the urbane and cosmopolitan Count Harry Kessler, who noticed many of the early signs that something was stirring in Europe; the young Winston Churchill, then First Lord of the Admiralty and a rising figure in British politics; Madame Caillaux, who shot a man who might have been a force for peace; and more. With indelible portraits, MacMillan shows how the fateful decisions of a few powerful people changed the course of history. Taut, suspenseful, and impossible to put down, The War That Ended Peace is also a wise cautionary reminder of how wars happen in spite of the near-universal desire to keep the peace. Destined to become a classic in the tradition of Barbara Tuchman’s The Guns of August, The War That Ended Peace enriches our understanding of one of the defining periods and events of the twentieth century. Praise for The War That Ended Peace “Magnificent . . . The War That Ended Peace will certainly rank among the best books of the centennial crop.”—The Economist “Superb.”—The New York Times Book Review “Masterly . . . marvelous . . . Those looking to understand why World War I happened will have a hard time finding a better place to start.”—The Christian Science Monitor “The debate over the war’s origins has raged for years. Ms. MacMillan’s explanation goes straight to the heart of political fallibility. . . . Elegantly written, with wonderful character sketches of the key players, this is a book to be treasured.”—The Wall Street Journal “A magisterial 600-page panorama.”—Christopher Clark, London Review of Books

Download or read book Tolstoy On War written by Rick McPeak and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2012-08-22 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1812, Napoleon launched his fateful invasion of Russia. Five decades later, Leo Tolstoy published War and Peace, a fictional representation of the era that is one of the most celebrated novels in world literature. The novel contains a coherent (though much disputed) philosophy of history and portrays the history and military strategy of its time in a manner that offers lessons for the soldiers of today. To mark the two hundredth anniversary of the French invasion of Russia and acknowledge the importance of Tolstoy's novel for our historical memory of its central events, Rick McPeak and Donna Tussing Orwin have assembled a distinguished group of scholars from diverse disciplinary backgrounds-literary criticism, history, social science, and philosophy-to provide fresh readings of the novel. The essays in Tolstoy On War focus primarily on the novel's depictions of war and history, and the range of responses suggests that these remain inexhaustible topics of debate. The result is a volume that opens fruitful new avenues of understanding War and Peace while providing a range of perspectives and interpretations without parallel in the vast literature on the novel.
