About This Book

The author analyzes the World War as a moral and political crisis that tests the foundations of democratic liberty, tracing ideological conflicts that shaped allied aims and the emerging international order. He examines ethical standards for international relations, advocates readiness and measured self-defense while insisting that principled non-resistance must rest on strength, and delineates national responsibilities in postwar reconstruction. Chapters consider how education, socialism, feminism, and the tension between paternalism and popular rule will transform democratic institutions. The work calls for cultivation of moral leadership, collective sacrifice, and institutional reform to preserve human liberty in the postwar era.
