England's Holy War (Classic Reprint): A Study of English Liberal Idealism During the Great War - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Excerpt from England's Holy War
There is humour as well as tragedy in the collapse of Liberal Idealism, and Miss Cooper Willis brings a keen ridicule to bear upon the intellectual processes she diagnoses. The book contributes a very necessary chapter to the history of the war, neglected hitherto by formal historians.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating and complex history of British public opinion and political maneuvering in the lead-up to World War I, with a particular focus on the transformation of the Liberal Party's stance from pacifism to staunch support for the war. Set against the backdrop of rising tensions in Europe and the escalating conflict between Austria-Hungary and Serbia, the narrative explores how British newspapers, particularly those aligned with the Liberal Party, initially expressed skepticism and reluctance towards involvement in a continental war. However, as events unfolded, including the German invasion of Belgium and the perceived threat to the balance of power, the narrative traces the shift in public sentiment and the justifications used to frame the war as a necessary and righteous endeavor. The author skillfully analyzes the rhetoric and arguments employed by prominent newspapers and politicians, revealing the intricate interplay of idealism, self-interest, and national identity that shaped British attitudes towards the war. By examining the evolving discourse surrounding the conflict, the book sheds light on the complex motivations and justifications that led a nation, once hesitant, to embrace a war that would forever alter the course of history. Ultimately, this book offers valuable insights into the power of propaganda, the fragility of peace, and the enduring legacy of World War I on British society and beyond.
