| Summary | "New York Times Current History: The European War, Vol 1, No. 1" by Various is a historical account produced during the early 20th century, specifically amid the early months of the First World War. The work compiles various essays and opinions from notable authors and intellectuals who reflect on the war's causes, implications, and the political landscape of Europe at the time, providing a multifaceted perspective on the unfolding conflict. The opening of the publication introduces George Bernard Shaw's article "Common Sense About the War," where he expresses his views on the war's nature and its roots in nationalism and militarism. Shaw argues against the narrative of a united front against a common enemy, highlighting the manipulation of public sentiment by ruling classes in both England and Germany. He critiques the idea of militarism and emphasizes the danger of propaganda that fuels conflict between nations, suggesting that the struggle is not just between countries but also reflective of internal class struggles and power dynamics. This thought-provoking commentary sets a critical tone for the discussions throughout the volume. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
