Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Study in American Foreign Policy My title perhaps requires definition. By challenge I mean to call to account, to ask an explanation of; by future, I mean our own posterity. Inevitably we must appear at the bar of posterity and answer the challenge of the future by giving an account of our stewardship of American interests. "Upon this moment of time hangs all eternity"; upon our decisions unquestionably depend the liberty and prosperity of our posterity.The point of view is all essential: do we act for ourselves alone in preparation for such difficulties as are at present imperative or shall envisage the distant future as the true objective of American policy and ideals? I do not hesitate to adhere to the latter alternative as the only course of which the wise and honest can approve. Protected ourselves by subtle and peculiar forces not within our own control, we must realize that every probability points to their disappearance in the near future, and that we must prepare for later generations some adequate substitute, preferably within their control. We may die unto ourselves, but we must live for posterity. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
