Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Commonwealth at War Half of the following essays have been published as leading articles in "The Times" Literary Supplement, and of the remainder most have appeared in the "Yale Review," the "Contemporary Review," the "Westminster Gazette," and "History"; and I am indebted to the proprietors of these various periodicals for permission to reprint these papers. Their republication may serve to illustrate, among other things, that deceitfulness of human wishes and fallibility of human judgment which a great crisis inevitably enhances. But the history of erroneous opinion is an integral part of history; and the future historian of the great war will make little of its history if he confines his attention to actions, and ignores the public and private opinion which impeded or inspired them. Conventional history limits itself too much to what men and nations have done, and takes too little account of what they hoped to do and thought they were doing. For deeds and thoughts react upon one another and together make up the human factor in human affairs. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
