The Light and Truth After the World Tragedy - A Political and Ethical Analysis of the European War of 1914 to 1919 (Paperback)

1921. From the Introduction: The great war was ended by the armistice of November 11, 1918, and final peace was concluded on June 28, 1919. The lapse of time since has enabled the public mind gradually to emerge from the oppression in which it had been held by the awful cataclysm and to return to a more normal state. But sufficient time has not yet passed for the American public to arrive, unassisted, at a correct comprehension of the stupendous events of 1914 to 1919. Contents: A.
