About this title

Synopsis

The Spirit of Selective Service is a book written by Enoch Herbert Crowder in 1920. The book is a reflection on the experience of the United States during World War I and the role of selective service in mobilizing the country's resources for the war effort. Crowder was a major general in the U.S. Army during the war and played a key role in the development of the selective service system, which was used to draft soldiers into the military. In the book, Crowder describes the challenges of building an effective selective service system, including the need to balance the demands of the military with the rights of individuals. He also discusses the importance of public support for the war effort and the role of propaganda in mobilizing the country. The Spirit of Selective Service is not just a historical account of the war, but also a reflection on the values and principles that guided the United States during this challenging time. The book provides insight into the mindset of military leaders and policymakers during the war and sheds light on the experiences of soldiers and civilians alike. Overall, The Spirit of Selective Service is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of World War I and the role of selective service in mobilizing the country for war.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
