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.

Book Synopsis Three Years of the Great War by : Frank Herbert Simonds
Download or read book Three Years of the Great War written by Frank Herbert Simonds and published by . This book was released on 2015-09-27 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Three Years of the Great War: A Comprehensive Review With the declining importance of the war correspondent, due to the immensity and stricter censorship of modern warfare, has come the rise of the great war editor. The new center of military information is this master student who, versed in the geography and topography of the fighting countries, and possessing an accurate estimate of the strength of the contending forces and a first-hand knowledge of the morale of the men, traces the ebb and flow of the lines on each of the fronts; watches with hawk eyes the seeming minor events that indicate a coming drive or retreat; and, with almost prophetic pen, points out what to expect shortly at a given point. The one American editor ideally equipped for his great task is Frank H. Simonds. For years before this war Mr. Simonds was a reporter for metropolitan newspapers in positions that brought him into contact with the biggest men in this country. In Washington and Albany he acquired a political insight that proved invaluable to him when he came to study the present war where so many military movements are undertaken with an eye to purely political effect in one country or another. For years before this war Mr. Simonds made the study of geography and military history his hobby. He pored over all available accounts of the strategic campaigns of the American Civil War and those European struggles, the Napoleonic and others, that were fought over the same ground where the front line trenches now stand.

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.

We were unwilling to offer our readers a hasty sketch made up from newspaper accounts which, however interesting, could have neither the accuracy nor the balance of true history. Such a course would have been entirely contrary to our policy and out of har mony with the other volumes of our great book OF history, which this history OF the world's greatest war now adequately completes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Great War Finally, and most important of all reasons, the international policy of the United States was one of isolation from European political ain bitions. The Englishman understood that his country was allied with France and Russia. He naturally experienced at least slight curiosity to understand the reasons for such alliance and its implications. He wanted to know also the problems and Circumstances of both his country's allies and its rivals - Germany, austria-hungary and Italy. The German understood that his country was allied with Austria Hungary, Italy and Turkey. He naturally experienced at least slight curiosity to understand the reasons for such alliance and its implica tions. He wanted to know also the problems and circumstances of both his country's allies and its rivals - Great Britain, France and Russia. But the citizen of the United States was ever confident that the political alliances of Europe could not touch his welfare. His country's colonial possessions were neither important nor calculated to arouse strong national pride; his land was almost entirely self-de pendent; and the Monroe Doctrine was a stout bulwark between the Old World and the New. The intelligent European recognized that any day a quarrel between two insignificant nations of the Balkans might send him to the battle-front within two weeks; in the United States, the future chairman of the Committee on Public Information was by no means alone in believing that the Ukraine was a musical instrument.

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.
Book Synopsis Winnie's Great War by : Lindsay Mattick
Download or read book Winnie's Great War written by Lindsay Mattick and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2018-09-20 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone has heard of Winnie-the-Pooh, but not everyone knows about the real Canadian bear who lent him her name. This is a wonderful tale of courage and friendship, for fans of Michael Morpurgo. Come on a heart-warming adventure, inspired by the journey undertaken by an extraordinary bear called Winnie during World War One. From her early days with her mama in the Canadian forest, to her travels with the Veterinary Corps across the country and overseas, Winnie has a remarkable wartime story to tell. And when she meets a little boy called Christopher Robin Milne in London Zoo, he loves her so much that he names his teddy bear Winnie-the-Pooh in her honour. Sophie Blackall's wonderful black and white artwork brings Winnie to life and will capture young readers' imaginations. The author, Lindsay Mattick, is the great grand-daughter of Captain Harry Colebourn - who originally rescued Winnie as a cub - and the story contains entries from his real wartime diaries from WW1. The book also includes a selection of artefacts from the Colebourn Family Archives. The result is a one-of-a-kind exploration into the realities of war, the meaning of courage, and the power of friendship, all told through the historic adventures of one astonishing bear.
