Sinossi
Excerpt from Our Country's Call to Service
A few men - but only a few - understood the lessons of history. They recalled how Demosthenes urged the Greek city states to join together in defense of their freedom against an aggressive dictator. They cheered when Winston Churchill made his appeals for the unity of the democratic states in 1935. They were not deluded by the wish ful thinking of the appeasers. Had the understanding of these few been more gen eral, more vivid, and more influential among the rank and file of the people in the democracies the issue would have been joined 4 years ago. The democracies, small and large, would not have waited for ruthless tribal leaders to carry out their threats on one people after another to be convinced that the nature of dictatorship does not change. There need then have been no question of our coming too late with too little in the defense of freedom.
