Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Why War Modern war is the result of a combination of explosives much as a thunder-storm is the result of a combination of unusual atmospheric conditions. The spark may be ignited in Berlin, Petrograd, Vienna, or London, but the explosive combination is likely to be found in obscure portions of the world. The cause of the present European war is not to be discovered in the White Book, the Yellow Book, or the Orange Book; the war did not originate in the capitals of Europe, even though the first overt acts were there committed. The war is not the result of patriotic uprisings on the part of the people, of the overcrowding of population, of any social unrest at home, or a national desire for overseas markets. The war is not the personal war of any ruler as were the wars of Frederick the Great or Napoleon, as were the ware of Bismarck fifty years ago. In its final causes it is not a war of aggression or defense, as were the recent wars of Germany, Austria, Italy, and France. When the history of the war is finally written these forces will be found to be of secondary importance. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
