Synopsis
Excerpt from The Doughboy's Religion: And Other Aspects of Our Day
There is a sort of fame that comes of much advertising and a name continually in the public prints - a sort of overpowering conspicuity that convinces without creden tials and gets itself accepted without proof. There is another sort of fame that travels so quietly it seems to go by underground and reaches a million people as if in silence, like one of those famous old books that are printed in all the languages of civilized man without advertisement and read with pri vate delight. Judge Lindsey's fame is of this latter kind.

The Doughboy's Religion: And Other Aspects of Our Day (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a thought-provoking analysis of the contrasting worldviews that emerged during and after the First World War. The author delves into the clash between the 'doughboy's religion' ââ â a philosophy centered around courage, self-sacrifice, and humility ââ â and the 'junker's faith', which prioritizes self-interest, class divisions, and the pursuit of power and wealth. Through vivid anecdotes and insightful observations, the author explores how these opposing ideologies manifested in various spheres, including the military, social reform movements, and international relations. The narrative contrasts the experiences of American soldiers in Europe with the prevailing attitudes of the privileged classes back home, highlighting the stark differences in their understanding of patriotism, service, and the meaning of a just society. The book delves into the failures of established institutions, such as the Church and the YMCA, to connect with the values of the common people, and it champions the rise of progressive movements like the British Labour Party, which sought to address social inequalities and create a more equitable world. Ultimately, this book challenges readers to reflect on the legacy of the First World War and consider how its lessons remain relevant in shaping a more just and humane future.
