England's Holy War (Classic Reprint): A Study of English Liberal Idealism During the Great War: A Study of English Liberal Idealism During the Great War (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Inhaltsangabe
How liberal writers helped turn a great war into a moral crusade—and what that means for understanding the press today.
This study examines the ways in which the Liberal press shaped and justified World War I as a Holy War. It reveals how ideas previously voiced as pacifism or restraint were transformed into strong, sweeping rhetoric that supported a long, costly conflict. The book centers on how journalists and editors framed the war, how their thinking shifted, and what the outcome revealed about political opinion, media influence, and national sentiment during the war era. What you’ll experience
- An inside look at how wartime rhetoric evolves in the press and public discourse.
- Analysis of the tension between pre-war Liberal ideals and wartime actions.
- Discussion of the moral language used to justify policy and mobilization.
- Context for how media narratives affected public perception of war aims and its aftermath.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating and complex history of British public opinion and political maneuvering in the lead-up to World War I, with a particular focus on the transformation of the Liberal Party's stance from pacifism to staunch support for the war. Set against the backdrop of rising tensions in Europe and the escalating conflict between Austria-Hungary and Serbia, the narrative explores how British newspapers, particularly those aligned with the Liberal Party, initially expressed skepticism and reluctance towards involvement in a continental war. However, as events unfolded, including the German invasion of Belgium and the perceived threat to the balance of power, the narrative traces the shift in public sentiment and the justifications used to frame the war as a necessary and righteous endeavor. The author skillfully analyzes the rhetoric and arguments employed by prominent newspapers and politicians, revealing the intricate interplay of idealism, self-interest, and national identity that shaped British attitudes towards the war. By examining the evolving discourse surrounding the conflict, the book sheds light on the complex motivations and justifications that led a nation, once hesitant, to embrace a war that would forever alter the course of history. Ultimately, this book offers valuable insights into the power of propaganda, the fragility of peace, and the enduring legacy of World War I on British society and beyond.
