Synopsis
Excerpt from Our Friend, France: Lecture Given at Harvard University Under the Auspices of the Cercle Français; February 2, 1916; Lecture at the Harvard Club, Boston; February 1, 1916
But this is a speculation with which we must not allow ourselves to be duped - to so much cun ning we must Oppose even more. No! This war was not declared because the docks of London were jealous of the docks of Hamburg. It has been established beyond controversy that Germany alone has taken the fearful responsibility of start ing the War and that for a long time she has premeditated her attack. England had no other ambition than to develop her power through peace. Her absolute lack of military preparation at the beginning of the hostilities is an irrefutable proof. It is, therefore, a simple lie to say that she has ever dreamed of conquering by her arms a dangerous competitor. It is even not true that Germany had, in the first instance, the intention of the immediate ruin of her great rival; it was not against England that she had the intention of mobilizing.
Read for yourselves, the official report of the diplomatic interviews, which preceded the rup ture. You will see that up to the last moment.

Our Friend, France (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 includes two historical lectures delivered by the author during World War I. The author asserts that Germany's war efforts are predicated on a simple lie; they seek to convince the United States of England's malicious ambition toward world dominance and then portray their own military actions as simply a defense against England and her allies. In truth, the author argues, Germany's true ambitions are to expand its political power indefinitely, by any means necessary. The author contrasts the supposed ambitions of England and her war allies with a list of Germany's atrocities committed against civilians throughout the occupied territories. As a neutral observer, the author argues that France, in particular, is fighting not only for its own freedom but for the honor, peace, and dignity of nations everywhere. The author concludes by examining the German occupation of Alsace and Lorraine and the ongoing struggle of Alsatians and Lorrainians for their liberation, further emphasizing the justness of the Allied cause and the importance of condemning German aggression. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330828441_0
