Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from America and the World War This is not right. It is not just to the weaker nations of the earth. It comes perilously near a betrayal of our own interests. In his laudable anxiety to make himself acceptable as a mediator to England, and especially to Germany, President Wilson loses sight of the fact that his first duty is to the United States; and, moreover, desirable though it is that his conduct should commend him to Germany, to England, and to the other great contending powers, he should not for this reason forget the interests of the small nations, and above all of Belgium, whose grati tude can never mean anything tangible to him or to us, but which has suffered a wrong that in any peace negotiations it Should be our first duty to see remedied.

This book was released on 2016-06-16 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from America and the Great War for Humanity and Freedom I shall also attempt to Show how crucial was the situation in Europe at the psychological moment of our declara tion of war, and how truly at that time the fate of humanity seemed to be hanging upon our decision and our action; and how momentous for ourselves and for others was the action of our government in accepting the hostile challenge of the German Empire. Concerning the magnitude of the theme there can be no question. The war which was begun by the Teutonic powers in the summer of 1914 brought the world face to face with what is probably the greatest crisis in its whole history. We might compare it with the Punic wars, which decided whether Rome or Carthage should rule the Medi terranean and its shores; with the Greek and Persian wars, which determined whether European or Asiatic civilization should be dominant; with the Fall of Rome; with the Mohammedan conquests and the Crusades; with the Napo leonio wars. But not one of these approximated the physical magnitude of this War of the Nations, or its moral and Spiritual importance to the future of the whole human race. For the first time in our history, all the highest material and intellectual resources of civilization are arrayed in an effort to subvert and to destroy the moral and spiritual fruits of human progress. The drunken helot of Sparta is invested with all the arts of Athens. To such a con ict are we called, to declare, as truly as in 1776, that states and peoples have a right to independent government of their own choice; and to see to it, as truly as in 1863, that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

Book Synopsis The Americans in the Great War, Vol. 2 (Classic Reprint) by :
Download or read book The Americans in the Great War, Vol. 2 (Classic Reprint) written by and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Americans in the Great War, Vol. 2 The world already knows of the undying glory achieved in the Great War hythe American Soldiers, but perhaps less is known about the historic ground over which they fought. The purpose of the present volume is more to describe, for the benefit of the tourist, that section of France where the battle of Saint-Mihiel raged, than to dwell on the splendid achievements of the brave troops from across the seas, who took that ancient stronghold, and thus opened the way to Metz. At the same time it is fitting to remind the reader that at Saint-Mihiel the Americans liberated over 150 square miles of French territory; took over 15, 000 German prisoners, and captured upwards of 200 guns. President Poincare, in a message to President Wilson, expressed in the following words, the feelings of France regarding the glorious achievements of the American troops: "I congratulate you, Mr. President, on a victory which has been completed so brilliantly. General Pershing's magnificent divisions have just liberated with admirable dash, cities and villages of Lorraine which have been groaning for years under the yoke of the enemy. I express the warmest thanks of France to the people of the United States." Marshal Foch, also, expressed the greatest possible admiration for the way the American troops fought their way to the great victory at Saint-Mihiel. In describing the battle Marshal Foch said: "This was where the Americans for the first time showed their worth. This is where we were able to judge of these admirable soldiers, strong in body and valiant in soul. In one swoop they reduced the famous salient, which during so long we did not know how to approach." In closing this brief introduction the publisher wishes to say that it would have been an easy matter to fill the pages following with many high-sounding phrases and verbose descriptions, but it has been thought better to adhere to the facts (they speak for themselves), and to furnish the tourist as briefly as possible with an historically correct account of the great victory of Saint-Mihiel.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Americans in the Great War, Vol. 1 When the United States of America declared war on' Germany, it was not known exactly what shape their intervention would take if their help would be limited to aiding the Allies financially and industrially and tightening the blockade, or if they would take an active part in the military operations. Opinions on this point were much divided, and if many were in favour of an unrestricted participation in the war, others were for a more moderate programme.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A complete account from official sources of the participation of African Americans in World War I including their involvement in war work organizations like the Red Cross, YMCA, and the war camp community service. The text includes an official summary of the treaty of peace and League of Nations covenant. With the entry of the United States into the Great War in 1917, African Americans were eager to show their patriotism in hopes of being recognized as full citizens. However, they were barred from the Marines, the Aviation unit of the Army, and served only in menial roles in the Navy. Despite their poor treatment, African-American soldiers provided much support overseas to the European Allies as well as at home" -- Bookseller's description.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories of Americans in the World War These stories of Americans in the world war were first written by doers, see-ers and seers. Because each writer had a message of entertainment or inspiration, the original stories and poems could not be condensed without omitting valuable lines. Yet for an intermediate reader of practical length and desired variety, it was necessary to condense, sometimes by omission, sometimes by rewriting. The publishers and copyrighters of the stories and poems as they originally appeared showed their interest in the purpose of this reader by kindly permitting the use of their material here. Instead of naming our collaborators in this prefatory acknowledgment, we name them and their publications after the stories and poems, in the hope that readers will thus more easily associate any pleasure derived from this book with the audience which first enjoyed each story or poem, and with the publisher and author to whom appreciation is due.

Book Synopsis The American Red Cross, in the Great War (Classic Reprint) by : Henry Pomeroy Davison
Download or read book The American Red Cross, in the Great War (Classic Reprint) written by Henry Pomeroy Davison and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Red Cross, in the Great War It is the effort of this book to set forth the scope, character and effect of the work of the American Red Cross during the Great War. When the war closed more than thirty million Americans were enrolled in the organization. Some of these were in foreign fields; most of them were at home. But, in one way or another, they were all helping. All of them working together made up the American Red Cross. Stories of special sacrifice or devotion cannot be given here and yet few organizations have so closely touched the great currents of human life. Detailed narratives will accordingly follow this book. I have sought here to summarize the work of the thirty millions as a whole. To characterize the Red Cross work of any man or woman, or to attempt to describe it with any regard to proper perspective, would be invidious if not impossible. I have therefore omitted the mention of names. The highest satisfaction any worker in the Red Cross can derive from his work is from the fact that the work itself was well done. The files of the War Council have been freely drawn upon in the preparation of this book. And I want to make special acknowledgment to every member of the force at headquarters, and to the special correspondents and staffs of our foreign commissions, who seemingly have vied with. one another in supplying me, either orally or in writing, with material without which the scope of this book could not be what it is. Indeed it may accurately be said that the book itself is a product of the American Red Cross. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The War and America This book discusses the essential factors and issues in the European war and their meaning and import for America. The hour for an im personal account of the war has certainly not yet come, and may not come for a long while. What our time can contribute is the reflection of the great war in the minds of individuals. A story of memories and impressions, of fears and hopes, has to-day more inner truth than any history of the struggle apparently written with an historian 's coolness. This diary, therefore, views the events as they unfold themselves from week to week, from the angle of personal experiences.

This book was released on 2017-03-07 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Winning a Cause, World War Stories Lest We Forget, the first volume of World War stories, gave an outline of the struggle up to the time of the signing of the armistice, November 1918, and contained in general, chronological order most of the stories that to children from ten to sixteen years of age would be' of greatest interest, and give the clearest understanding of the titanic contest. This, the second volume of the same series, contains the stories of the war of the character described, that were not included in Lest We Forget, stories of the United States naval heroes, of the Americans landed in France, of the concluding events of the war, of the visit of President Wilson to Europe, and of the Peace Conference. In a word, emphasis is placed upon America's part in the struggle. This volume should be of even greater interest to American children than the first, for it tells the story of America's greatest achievement, of a nation under taking a tremendous and terrible task not for material gain, but for an ideal.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from American's Relations to the Great War The time has at last come when a sane word may be spoken on this subject from an objective point of view with some prospect of meeting, in some quarters at least, with an impartial hearing. There can be little question now that the original plan of Great Britain for fighting this war was to have France and Russia do the work upon the land of destroying the armies of the Central Powers, while she would starve out their entire population, civil as well as military, women as well as men, infants as well as adults, by means of her superior naval power.

Download or read book America at War (Classic Reprint) written by Rev. William B. Ayers and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from America at War The long moral struggle is over. The extremists have prevailed in Germany, while in America righteousness has become another name for wrath. All the just, righteous, and kindly endeavors of our government to maintain the code of international rights and human safeguards have been made the object of scorn, and the instruments by which royal arrogance sought to fulfill its schemes. Our record is clean. We have leaned backward to maintain the cause of peace. In the pursuit of this cause we have been called cowards and selfish people. So did we yearn for peace, that the world mistook this longing for selfishness, and we ourselves began to doubt and grow a little discouraged and ashamed. It seemed as if perhaps we did not realize the full meaning in this crisis of the world, as if we neither rose to its full apprehension nor did our share. We seemed unable to adjust our lives to the tremendous condition abroad, or to compress our loose-jointed thoughts and our luxurious and voluptuous tastes into the compass in which a century reduced itself to months. We had grown so petty and partisan that the great struggle seemed to have no meaning for us, or if it did we had become indifferent to its most vital and lasting issues. We could not unite upon a single great enterprise. But America has awakened and now she is finding her soul. We have been trying to ward off this moment for a long time. At last it has come and our duty is clear. The thought and purpose of our nation should have full, immediate expression, and unqualified support. All partisanship should disappear, all selfish interests should be laid aside, and the unity of the nation should be proved by our patriotic allegiance to duty, our devoted loyalty to any plan marked by the hand of God, and our united effort to make effective our Christian ideals. In my lecture on "The Great War," October, 1914, I made the statement that America would eventually be drawn into the conflict.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Imperiled America: A Discussion of the Complications Forced Upon the United States by the World War At a time when high government offi cials and eminent statesmen are demanding that the country be prepared against war, it is important for the people to be informed of the causes moving them. In the following pages I have tried as an American proud of his birthright and jealous of the honor and integrity of his country, to set forth our perilous situation in a world at war. I have refrained pur posely from excessive detail, and present the facts in a fashion which I hope will bring home to those who read what I have written our actual points of international contact and international conflict.

Book excerpt: 1918: The end of the war to end all wars. The end of an era for victors and vanquished alike. When Germany launched the Ludendorf Offensives—the most massive military bombardment of World War I—they seemed certain to win. But when American troops began arriving in droves, the Allies' certain defeat became a decisive victory. No Man's Land takes us into the trenches, behind enemy lines, into military strategy sessions and through the corridors of power in London, Paris, Berlin, and Washington in a brilliant account of one of the most fateful years in Western history. Drawing on new sources—diaries, memoirs, vivid personal experiences—here is a book that for sheer excitement, drama, vigor, and emotional impact rivals the greatest novels, history marvelously told by the incomparable John Toland.
