Excerpt from How the War Came About: Explained to the Young People of All English-Speaking Countries
IN this little book I have sought to tell simply and shortly the 'story of a great and complex ci'lsls. It deeply concerns the Continental peoples and also our own people. Therefore, I have explained how we acted in time past when a somewhat similar crisis was at hand. But now the cause is greater and nobler than it was even in the days of Queen Elizabeth and of William III. May the boys and girls of Great Britain and Ireland, and of the Britains beyond the seas, realise this.
