Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Ethical Problems of the War: An Address I little imagined then that I should live to speak in favour of the policy of a much greater and more disastrous war, but that is what, on the whole, I shall do. But I want to begin by facing certain facts. Don´t let us attempt to blind ourselves or be blinded by phrases into thinking that the war is anything but a disaster, and an appalling disaster. Don´t let us be led away by views which have some gleam of truth in them into believing that this war will put an end to war - that it will convert Germany, and certainly convert Russia to liberal opinions, that it will establish natural frontiers throughout Europe or that it will work a moral regeneration in nations which were somehow sapped by too many years of easy living in peace. There is some truth, and very valuable truth, in all those considerations, but they do not alter the fact that the war is, as I said, an appalling disaster. We knew when we entered upon it that it was a disaster - we knew that we should suffer, and that all Europe would suffer. Now let us run over very briefly the ways in which it is doing evil. Let us face the evil first. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
