Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

This book presents an assembly of first-hand accounts from an American man living in Canada during the first World War. The author was a graduate of Harvard College and Harvard Law School who gave up practicing law to devote his time to commerce and manufacturing. His unique position as a highly educated American observing the war from the frontlines in Canada allowed him to offer rare insights into the conflict. This book is a unique historical document which explores the complex and nuanced views of the time. These accounts provide a valuable resource for readers interested in a deep dive into World War 1 and the evolution of global politics in the early 20th century.

Reseña del editor

Excerpt from War Thoughts of an Optimist: A Collection of Timely Articles by an American Citizen Residing in Canada

The author of these articles is a United States citizen who has been resident for several years in Canada. He has had the advantages of being a graduate of Harvard College and the Harvard Law School, but has given up the practice of the law and devoted himself to commerce and manufacturing.

Coming of old New England stock and revolutionary ancestry, the issues of this war have appealed to him as so vital that he has felt that he must speak. He gives this book out not because he thinks he can write, but because he knows that he cannot remain silent.

The author makes no apologies for his views. He feels that, on the contrary, apologies are due from those who fail to entertain them.
