Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Britain's Contribution to Victory, Vol. 19
During the earlier part of our participation in this war, most of us were so busy being conscious of the contribution America must make that we thought of scarcely anything else. Perhaps for the time being it was allowable, as we mobilized the physical, moral and spiritual resources of the United States; as we thought of what we must give and of what we must do, perhaps it was allowable that for the time we should forget, at least, that for the time we should cease to emphasize the immortal sacrifice of France, the audacious, splen did daring of Italy, the organized and completely masterful defiance of Great Britain to the foe.
Perhaps it was well that just at that time this nation, which had been a series of multitudinous fragments, unorganized into cohesive unity, should have such a compelling sense of the new oneness it had attained, of that spiritual consciousness of American solidarity, that that one experience should fill its mind. Perhaps it is not strange that at that time the fathers who were seeing their sons cross the sea should be busy thinking of that and saying to themselves.
