Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from War Book of the University of Wisconsin, Papers on the Causes and Issues of the War This book brings together articles on the war written by members of the faculty of the University of Wisconsin and published week by week during the academic year 1917-18, as the University of Wisconsin War Pamphlets. An edition of 20,000 copies of each pamphlet was distributed in Wisconsin, upon request, to individuals, public libraries, traveling libraries, high schools, and county councils of defense. Since the number of requests for these pamphlets greatly exceeded the size of the edition authorized, it has been thought desirable to reprint them in permanent form. In addition to the pamphlets a series of shorter newspaper articles on the same subjects was prepared by the writers for publication each week in Wisconsin daily and weekly papers. These newspaper articles, which were also translated into German by members of the German Department of the University, were sent out in stereotype plates by the Wisconsin State Council of Defense to four hundred Wisconsin papers printed in English and to forty papers printed in German. These articles discuss the causes of the war, the methods pursued by Germany in carrying it on, the conditions under which the United States entered the conflict, and the significance of the war as a world-wide struggle between autocracy and democracy. The aim in preparing the longer articles which are here brought together has been to present in concise form the most important material bearing on the questions at issue, for readers who have not had the opportunity of examining for themselves the documentary evidence.
