The World War and Its Consequences: Being Lectures in the Course on Patriotism Delivered at the University of Pittsburgh During the Summer Session of 1918 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The World War and Its Consequences: Being Lectures in the Course on Patriotism Delivered at the University of Pittsburgh During the Summer Session of 1918

T is the literal truth that if I could choose only one. Book to be put in the hand Of every man and woman in the United States at this time, I would choose the book of Professor William Herbert Hobbs. The book does not deal with the military operations Of the war, but it states with entire truthfulness and fairness and with a fearlessness and deep insight which are beyond praise, exactly what the conditions are that have made Germany a menace and horror to the whole world; exactly what the conditions are that led to this nation's culpable failure to perform its duty during the first two and a half years Of the world war; and exactly what is most needed at the present moment from this nation in order that it may do its national and inter national duty.
