Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Twenty-Two Months Under Fire War is one of those things the British people for nearly half a century have refused to contemplate, and the mere fact that the seas encircled the British Isles was sufficient to lull our people into a dreamland in which we pretended that a world war was impossible. War is an exacting thing: it demands great effort, it imperils wealth, it threatens luxury, it interferes with the sports and pleasures of the people - in a word, the idea of war was unpopular, and because it was unpopular, those who seek the favour of the British people and guide them avoided all mention of the ugly thing. Preparation for war meant taxation, and how could any rising statesman, or still less any political party, advocate taxation when the fight for success in the political arena depended upon which section could promise most individual gain to the individual elector?
