Excerpt from The War of 1914 From an American, Point of View: An Address Delivered Before the First Unitarian, Society, Milton, Nov 17
WE daily peruse with feverish interest the most recent news from the greatest war that has ever deci mated the human race: one in which millions of men are engaged on each side, and beside which all previ ous great struggles for supremacy seem like phantom shades. I have seen the smallest children, hardly large enough to be sent on errands, diligently spelling out the headlines as they hurried home with their little bur den, almost oblivious oi the passing traffic. I have also noted the impatient openings of the metropolitan sheets by elderly hands, too frail to hold them securely in their grasp.
On one side we have arrayed Germany and Austria, and on the other, Russia, France, England, Belgium, Servia and Japan.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a study of the origins of World War I, with a focus on the role of Germany. The author argues that Germany was primarily responsible for the war, and that its leaders deliberately planned and provoked a conflict in order to achieve their own territorial and geopolitical ambitions. The book is based on a careful analysis of archival sources, and it provides a detailed account of the diplomatic maneuvering and military preparations that led to the outbreak of war. The author demonstrates that Germany's leaders were well aware of the risks of a general European war, but that they were willing to take those risks in order to achieve their own goals, which involves a discussion of the political, military, and ideological factors that contributed to the outbreak of World War I through the analysis of a variety of primary and secondary sources. The author provides a detailed account of the events leading up to the war, including the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, the German ultimatum to Serbia, and the subsequent Russian mobilization. The author also examines the role of the various European powers in the conflict, including the United Kingdom, France, and Russia. The author concludes that World War I was a complex and multifaceted event, but that Germany's leaders bear the primary responsibility for its outbreak.
