The Menace of Peace (Classic Reprint)

ISBN: 9780483737747
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 110
Book Description
Excerpt from The Menace of Peace Promise the pacifist plotters propose would not be peace, but perpetual war. There is no peace without justice, no justice without truth, and no truth that is not the achievement of the love that takes sides and conquers - takes sides passionately and conquers definitely. Peace and justice are the same, and so are love and fraternity and truth, and also freedom and faith. They are but different names for the Power that holds the balance of the world. These are the times in which to read, regard less of one's beliefs, the Apocalypse of the apostle who saw the wrath of the Lamb con suming the kingdom and systems that were completing their cycle under the exhausting rule of Rome. There is no better tonic for a wearied and baffled goodwill; no stronger solace for the hearts that have hoped for social liberation and international fraternity, and that now beat low amid the shadows of divine dis appointment. Here, in this Book of the Wars of the Christ, the symbol of the ultimate peace is the lake of glass mingled with fire. It is the.

The Economic Consequences of the Peace
Author: John Maynard Keynes
Publisher: Harriman House Limited
ISBN: 0857190113
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 186
Book Description
An attendee at the ill-fated Versailles Conference, John Maynard Keynes had a front-row seat for the negotiations that would squander a peace and sew discord across a continent. One of his best-written works, 'The Economic Consequences of the Peace' was key in propelling Keynes to prominence. Published in 1919, it gained notoriety owing to its withering portraits of both French premier Georges Clemenceau and US president Woodrow Wilson. A best seller throughout the world, it was instrumental in creating the perception of the Germans as unfairly treated after the First World War. This in turn was crucial in prompting public support for appeasement, so that both the Treaty - and his eloquent criticisms of it - form a key part of the background to both World Wars I and II.

Savage Peace
Author: Ann Hagedorn
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1416539719
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 564
Book Description
Written with the sweep of an epic novel and grounded in extensive research into contemporary documents, Savage Peace is a striking portrait of American democracy under stress. It is the surprising story of America in the year 1919. In the aftermath of an unprecedented worldwide war and a flu pandemic, Americans began the year full of hope, expecting to reap the benefits of peace. But instead, the fear of terrorism filled their days. Bolshevism was the new menace, and the federal government, utilizing a vast network of domestic spies, began to watch anyone deemed suspicious. A young lawyer named J. Edgar Hoover headed a brand-new intelligence division of the Bureau of Investigation (later to become the FBI). Bombs exploded on the doorstep of the attorney general's home in Washington, D.C., and thirty-six parcels containing bombs were discovered at post offices across the country. Poet and journalist Carl Sandburg, recently returned from abroad with a trunk full of Bolshevik literature, was detained in New York, his trunk seized. A twenty-one-year-old Russian girl living in New York was sentenced to fifteen years in prison for protesting U.S. intervention in Arctic Russia, where thousands of American soldiers remained after the Armistice, ostensibly to guard supplies but in reality to join a British force meant to be a warning to the new Bolshevik government. In 1919, wartime legislation intended to curb criticism of the government was extended and even strengthened. Labor strife was a daily occurrence. And decorated African-American soldiers, returning home to claim the democracy for which they had risked their lives, were badly disappointed. Lynchings continued, race riots would erupt in twenty-six cities before the year ended, and secret agents from the government's "Negro Subversion" unit routinely shadowed outspoken African-Americans. Adding a vivid human drama to the greater historical narrative, Savage Peace brings 1919 alive through the people who played a major role in making the year so remarkable. Among them are William Monroe Trotter, who tried to put democracy for African-Americans on the agenda at the Paris peace talks; Supreme Court associate justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr., who struggled to find a balance between free speech and legitimate government restrictions for reasons of national security, producing a memorable decision for the future of free speech in America; and journalist Ray Stannard Baker, confidant of President Woodrow Wilson, who watched carefully as Wilson's idealism crumbled and wrote the best accounts we have of the president's frustration and disappointment. Weaving together the stories of a panoramic cast of characters, from Albert Einstein to Helen Keller, Ann Hagedorn brilliantly illuminates America at a pivotal moment.
