Book excerpt: Excerpt from Why We Went to War I Cannot pretend that the following account is dispassionate, and I realize that in preparing it I have done what Burke said he did not know how to do.

I have tried, nevertheless, to represent him in his habit as he lives, and to draw out fully the implications in his attitude and philosophy.
