Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Freedom of the Seas This book has been written for a particular purpose. There are some revolutions that reveal at once to every eye their effects on the changes and chances of this mortal life. There are others that, silently and all unseen, change the foundations of life without challenging it to its face. We have, since the war, been living through two revolutions - possibly more - but two at least of the first importance. The one is a revolution in social policy. Started by the seismic catastrophe of the war and from the region where the eruption most completely broke up the strata of society - Russia - this eruption set up a tidal wave of revolution south, west, and east, that threatened to submerge and subvert our political and social structures. At its approach most of us banded together to build dykes to shut it out and to save our property - some few of us set to work building dams to shut it in and use its power. But all of us have been so preoccupied with this tidal wave of revolution from the East that we have overlooked a rising tide of revolution that has been flooding in on us steadily and ever more strongly from the West. The revolution in sea power, of which the sanction is the American Navy, is really far more of a menace to the existing order in our points of view and policies than is the revolution in social policy. But it is even less a menace to our peace and prosperity and even more a means to recover our position and progress provided we realize how to accommodate our old ideals to it and how to adapt it to our real interests. Yet we can do nothing until we recognize the new factors it has introduced into our old problems and the new forms in which it has recast them. The purpose of this book is to present a picture of these new forms and factors so that this unseen revolution may be realized.
