Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Shall It Be Again? Were any excuse deemed necessary for this book, it would be enough to point to the likelihood of another war. No one will dispute that, notwithstanding complete victory was accorded us, the promised goal, permanent peace, was not attained. If, indeed, we are to judge by the demands of the Executive for greater armament, the danger of future war at once became from three to five times as great as before we took up arms to repel such danger. These demands were scaled down, but our peace-time armament remained far heavier than before. Those of us who, a little while ago, were most confident in asserting that our war would end war are the same who, as soon as it was over, became most certain that we must be ready for the next one. But if the goal was not reached, our war could not have been in every respect the glorious thing we were told it was. Nor will any one dispute that many of the other promised benefits are not forthcoming. Nearly all of us seem to be willing to assume - or to permit our neighbors to assume, which comes to the same thing - that the "reasons" justifying our war are sound. But if such "reasons" are sound how is it that the results are so disappointing? The question cannot be dismissed simply by blaming Wilson, or the Republican party, or Lloyd George and Clemenceau.
