Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Vindication of Great Britain a Study in Diplomacy and Strategy: With Reference to the Illusions, of Her Critics and the Problems, of the Future In their well intentioned efforts to rouse the energies if this country, certain speakers and writers in England have succeeded in conveying to neutral nations, to our kinsmen across the seas, to our allies, and even to our enemies, an impression of Great Britain which I feel is not merely misleading, but monstrously untrue. I desire to set the character of this great country in a truer light, and to show its achievement to the present generation in some suck aspect as I venture to think history will show it to posterity. This desire does not spring from any feelings of vainglory, but from a spirit of justice, a spirit which inspires me with the faith that a righteous pride and a well-founded enthusiasm are powerful forces in a nation´s life, and forces which we in Great Britain shall need in the days ahead. In such a spirit I have entered upon this study, looking up constantly from the documents of yesterday to the horizon of to-morrow, striving always to see in things which have happened guidance for things which are to come; and the conclusions I have reached in the course of my inquiry have been fortified and enlarged by conversations with men of great eminence, not in this country alone, but in Russia, Scandinavia, and America, who are also mindful of that which is to come, and who are convinced that only a revolution in the human mind can avert a repetition of the present tragedy.
