Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book contains three lectures delivered by a French protestant during the First World War. The author argues that the catastrophes of the early 20th century arose from the late 19th century overthrow of reason by irrational chauvinism, a trend that had developed despite the noble advances in the development of human rights, social justice and political and intellectual freedom. The author laments that these advances had been insufficient to prevent the catastrophe of The Great War. The author asserts that the Allies were fighting for a righteous cause, the vindication of international law and the right of nations to self-determination. By contrast, the German Empire was fighting an unjust war in violation of international law, driven by a hubristic nationalism and militarism. The author contrasts the Allied cause with the German cause, detailing the origins of German aggression in a desire for European hegemony. The text is a meditation on the history of France as a force for peace and the rule of law in Europe, contrasting the true history of France as a defender of rights with the contemporary German propaganda which characterized France as a warmonger. The author concludes by denouncing the German atrocities as both morally and politically indefensible. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
