Excerpt from Essays and Addresses in War Time
The whole volume was in print before the startling events of October had begun to bring the close of the war into sight. The earlier essays are left almost unchanged, because they were written to convey to foreign readers a concise and so far as possible unbiassed account of the motives and temper, the views and moral judgments with which Britain was prosecuting the war at a time when its issue, though certain to ourselves, appeared doubtful to many foreign observers. It seems better to leave them to speak as from the days when Englishmen were bewildered by the doctrines as well as the behaviour of their enemies, and were seeking explanations of what was so new to their experience. The clouds are now beginning to lift. Already we understand some features of the conduct and mental attitude of the enemy better than we did three or four years ago.
Happily that which we most desired has come to pass. This is a War of Principles, and the course of events has vindicated the principles of morality and humanity that were at stake.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the horrifying shift in German military conduct and political philosophy during World War 1 as revealed in the writings of prominent figures of the time, such as General von Bernhardi, and the brutal actions of German forces in Belgium. The author presents a chilling collection of evidence to highlight the alarming disregard for international law and morality displayed by the German government and military elite. The ethical deterioration and embrace of extreme nationalism in Germany is examined in great detail, as is the fanaticism with which the German people supported their government's actions. The author emphasizes the significance of this historical moment, as it marked a shift away from the norms and values that had been developing in Europe for centuries and towards a dark and dangerous path. This book serves as a crucial reminder of the fragility of civilization and the need to remain vigilant against those who would undermine its very foundations.
