Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Summary of the History of the Great War
Germany believed that war was necessary for, a nation in order to unify it and to give it moral health. Bernhardi, a German writer, said that a war would elevate the people and destroy the diseases that threaten the national health. War was valuable, also, as giving a nation the chance to expand by the addition of conquered territory. Friedrich Nietzsche, a German philosopher, wrote: I do not advise you to work, but to fight. I do not advise you to com promise and make peace, but to conquer. Bernhardi said in his book on Germany and the Next War: Might gives the right to occupy or to conquer. Might is at once the supreme right. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
