| Summary | "America in the War" by Louis Raemaekers is a collection of cartoons and accompanying commentary written in the early 20th century, specifically during World War I. The work comprises a series of artistic interpretations that address the themes of patriotism, the morality of war, and America's involvement in the global conflict, reflecting the sentiments of the time and the significant issues related to the war. The opening of the book introduces the concept of America's altruistic involvement in the war, emphasizing the nation's desire to support Liberty and Democracy, as expressed through various contributors' commentaries on Raemaekers' cartoons. It discusses America's historical connection with France and the moral imperatives that led to intervention in the war, while framing the cultural and ethical stakes involved. Specific pieces highlight the significant events and emotions surrounding the war, portraying both the nobility of the American spirit and the dark menace of German militarism. The text encourages readers to reflect on the deeper implications of the war beyond mere might and power, inviting a sense of unity in the face of a global threat.
