Excerpt from Horrors and Atrocities of the Great War, Including the Tragic Destruction of the LusitaniaThe most heroic pages of history have been written on battlefields. The moments of supreme courage, effort, and achievement in the life of man have been when he has shouldered arms and faced the invader and persecutor.War is a horrible and hateful thing, at best it is a terrible, lamentable necessity. But it does not make cowards of brave and honest men, it does frequently inspire the timid and hesitating with the fire of valor and resolution to a degree undreamed of.So it is that in War we find stories of intrepidity, and deeds palpitating with heroism, such as only the crises of supreme danger and necessity could inspire, and we treasure these stories as part of the priceless heritage of humanity, that children and grandchildren may remember the valor of their sires, we tell and retell them, we preserve them in the volumes of the historian, on the canvas of the artist, we chisel them in stone, that men may re member the price paid for liberty and virtue.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
