Soft Cover. Condizione: Good to Very Good. 153 pages. Remnant of old stickers on back cover. An excerpt from the chapter headed "A Dialectic on Total War": ".To an unprecedented degree the idea was promoted that the nation should become as one, with no thought but kill and destroy. Those of mature age may recall the hysteria whipped up in this country by President Woodrow Wilson, which went even to the point of banning the playing of German music.The Second World War went immeasurably further and reduced the word 'noncombatant' almost to meaninglessness. Distinctions of sex and age and vocation vanished away. The Western genius for technology had invented a weapon of destruction which took no account of terrain or of distance--the bombing plane, which could fly practically anywhere and drop its lethal cargo on any target that military science or the spirit of vengeance might suggest.Mass killing did in fact rob the cradle and the grave. Our nation was treated to the spectacle of young boys fresh out of Kansas and Texas turning nonmilitary Dresden into a holocaust which is said to have taken tens of thousands of lives, pulverizing ancient shrines like Monte Cassino and Nuremberg, and bringing atomic annihilation to Hiroshima and Nagasaki.We are compelled to recall Winston Churchill, a descendant of the Duke of Marlborough and in many ways a fit spokesman for Britain's nobility, saying that no extreme of violence would be considered too great for victory. Then there is the equally dismaying spectacle of Franklin D. Roosevelt, the reputedly great liberal and humanitarian, smiling blandly and waving the cigarette holder while his agents showered unimaginable destruction upon European and Japanese civilians.".
