Book The Crime of War  Classic Reprint

Download or read book The Crime of War Classic Reprint written by Juan Bautista Alberdi and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-09 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Crime of War But as the author, the great Argentine thinker, Dr. Juan Bautista Alberdi, was amongst the greatest admirers of the British people, not only because of its world-wide civilizing influence, but, especially for its clear and practical conception of self-government, the essence of which is incarnate in that race, and has raised it to its present great ness, to-day it has been thought appropriate to pay a twofold homage, both to the writer and to the people of his own predilection, by interpreting in the English language his last thoughts in behalf of the whole of the vast human family. The technical matter to this version, the Notes and an Analytic and Biographical Preface, have been contributed by. Dr. Th. Baty, of the Inner Temple, J oint-honorary General Secretary of the International Law Association, the work of Trans lation and the Editorship having been accomplished by Professor 0. J. Mac Connell.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Crime, Vol. 2 IN J'accuse I have already pointed out with all possible em phasis that of the three descriptions which may be applied to this war, namely, that it is a defensive war, a preventive war, or an imperialistic war of conquest, in my opinion, so far as Germany is concerned, the third only is in point.

Book The Crime  Vol  3  Classic Reprint

Download or read book The Crime Vol 3 Classic Reprint written by A. German and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-29 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Crime, Vol. 3 The position is quite different with regard to the question of war-aims. Here we do not stand on firm ground, but on very uncertain ground. The war-aims are most inti mately connected, not merely with the causes of the war on which I have fully expressed my views elsewhere - but also with the success achieved in the war, that is to say, they are related to the constantly varying military situation, which in the nature of things involves a constant rise and fall in the aims of the belligerent parties. Their wishes may no doubt remain the same, but the prospects of their realisation vary. Thus the parties may find themselves compelled to moderate their wishes temporarily, or at any rate to place them in the background so long as matters are going badly from a mili tary point of view; whereas on the other hand, when things go better, they are in a position to come forward once more with their earlier wishes and perhaps even to place them still higher. Not even the most rabid annexationist can fail to repress his expansionist aims, if he is convinced from the war situation that they cannot be attained, or at any rate cannot be attained in their full extent. He will, however, once more emerge with his annexationist desires as soon as the military situation appears to permit their accomplishment.

Book The War Guilt and Peace Crime  of the Entente Allies  Classic Reprint

Download or read book The War Guilt and Peace Crime of the Entente Allies Classic Reprint written by Stewart E. Bruce and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-04 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The War Guilt and Peace Crime, of the Entente Allies I have held the belief from the beginning of the struggle that Russia, Great Britain and France were essentially as guilty of bringing on the World War as Germany. Even if this guilt had been very generally recognized, a book such as this might have been deemed neither wise nor expedient, provided the victors had atoned for their share in the guilt by acting with some degree of moderation when the time for settlement had arrived. But when the terrible nature of the Peace settlement is contemplated, one would be untrue to his own conscience as well as lacking in duty to humanity if no attempt were made to reopen this whole question, now that free speech and a free press are again in our possession. The purpose of this book is to show the guilt of the Entente Allies, America's unwise participation in the struggle, the evil nature of the Peace settlement, and most important of all - the structural changes which will be necessary in the governments of such countries as Great Britain, France, Germany and America, to the end that the people will become the real masters of their own destiny, so that a repetition of such a world calamity may not again occur.

Book The Crimes of England  Classic Reprint

Download or read book The Crimes of England Classic Reprint written by Gilbert K. Chesterton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-11 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Crimes of England The English, the English captain having de liberately tried to drown himself and some thousand Of his own countrymen in order to cause an exchange Of stiff notes between Mr. Wilson and the Kaiser. If this interesting story be true, I can only say that such fran tic and suicidal devotion to the most remote interests of his country almost earns the cap tain pardon for the crime. But do you not see, my dear Professor, that the very rich ness and variety of your inventive genius throws a doubt upon each explanation when considered in itself? We who read you in England reach a condition Of mind in which it no longer very much matters what ex planation you Offer, or whether you Offer any at all. We are prepared to hear that you sank the Lusitania because the sea-born sons Of England would live more happily as deep-sea fishes, or that every person on board was coming home to be hanged. You have explained yourself so completely, in this clear way, to the Italians that they have declared war on you, and if you go on ex plaining yourself so clearly to the Ameri cans they may quite possibly do the same.

Download or read book The Criminal written by George H. Hepworth and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-24 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Criminal: The Crime; The Penalty These words were true three thousand years ago, and they are equally true to-day. It has been the concurrent experi ence of all ages, that wrong prevails but a little while and, though it succeed in putting on the imperial robes of power, it shortly comes to grief. We see a new and fearful illus tration of this law, an illustration that speaks with warning eloquence to all American citizens, in the short but ignoble career of that man who is at last a captive in the hands of justice. We look back upon the rebellion which he inaugu rated, and which in crumbling is likely to bury him beneath its ruins, and we search in vain for a single bright spot in all its black darkness of cruelty and crime. Generally, in a vast movement of this kind, involving the welfare of so many persons, one can find an excuse either in the motive which began it, the heroism which illustrated it, or the sublime courage, overcome but not conquered, which marked its end. But here you read the whole tragedy through with an aching heart, from the first to the last act: in the plot and in the actors, you find no single attribute of pure, high minded, revolutionary fame.

Book War and War Crimes

Download or read book War and War Crimes written by James Gow and published by C Hurst. This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The laws of war have always been concerned with issues of necessity and proportionality, but how are these principles applied in modern warfare? What are the pressures on practitioners where an increasing emphasis on legality is the norm? Where do such boundaries lie in the contexts, means and methods of contemporary war? What is wrong, or right, in the view of military-political practitioners, in how those concepts relate to today's means and methods of war? These are among the issues addressed by James Gow in his compelling analysis of war and war crimes, which draws upon research conducted over many years with defence professionals from all over the world. Today more than ever, military strategy has to embrace justice and law, with both being deemed essential prerequisites for achieving success on the battlefield. And in a context where legitimacy defines success in warfare, but is a fragile and contested concept, no group has a greater interest in responding to these pressures and changes positively than the military. It is they who have the greatest need and desire to foster legitimacy in war by getting the politics-law-strategy nexus right, as well as developing a clear understanding of the relationship between war and war crimes, and calibrating where war becomes a war crime.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from War With Crime: Being a Selection of Reprinted Papers on Crime, Reformatories, Etc Two analogies were constantly present to Mr. Baker's mind. One, that crime is due to a form of mental disease, for which the criminal is not the only person responsible, and that all disease must be combated on scientific principles, dealing rather with the disease than with the individual. The other, that we are at war with crime, and that our forces must be marshalled and disciplined if we are to win the battle. Both these views are brought out in the paper How to war with crime, ' read at the Bradford meeting of the Social Science Association in 1859.
