Synopsis
Excerpt from The Commonwealth at War
The date of each of these essays is precisely indi cated so that it may be borne in mind in the criticisms they may suggest. There is inevitably some repeti tion, and most of them contain expressions which they would not have contained, had they been written earlier or later; but to modify the record of expressed opinion in the light of later events indicates a dis honest ambition for consistency or prescience, and is one of the most insidious forms of historical forgery.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, an amalgamation of observations, delves into the underlying reasons why World War I erupted in 1914. The author demonstrates that the war's immediate origins lie in Germany's frame of mind - the military party's belligerence that began to dominate decision-making in the years leading up to the war. The author analyzes writings by German General von Bernhardi and Prince von Bulow to illustrate the prevailing German sentiment that war was a natural state, a noble goal, and an indispensable factor in cultural development. Germany's political leaders believed their state to be superior to the needs of its people, leading them to reject international comity and embrace a philosophy of ruthless self-interest, as exemplified in their treatment of Belgium. The author posits that this philosophy is a Prussian and not a German product, and that the German people's political incompetence, as acknowledged by German leaders themselves, made them susceptible to the Prussian ethos. The author's insights illuminate the profound moral issues at stake in the war and emphasize the lasting significance of understanding the origins of such conflicts to prevent future tragedies. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330931400_0
