Print on Demand. This book presents a collection of addresses delivered in 1918 by Sir George Adam Smith, a theologian, and academic, on his mission to America during the great war. The addresses centered on the moral aims that drove the allied powers into conflict. The author argues that far from selfish intent the Allied powers were driven by justice, freedom, and peace for the whole world. Not greed or lust for power fueled their fight but rather their duty to oppose the tyranny of the German war machine, which posed an unprecedented threat to the moral foundations of human civilization. The author further argues that this moral imperative was shared by all the allied powers and provided the deep wellspring from which their soldiers drew their unyielding determination. Sir Adam Smith's impassioned call to action is as relevant today as when it was first written, reminding us of the importance of fighting for our shared values and the moral responsibility we have towards each other and the world. 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.…
