Historical Speeches of Famous American Leaders - Speeches During World War I (1914-1918) CD: Historical Speeches of Famous American Leaders Speeches During World War I 19141918 CD |
| Product Description : America?s initial reluctance to become active participants in both the global conflicts can perhaps be explained on the grounds that the country was physically distanced from the action in Europe. Blissfully ignorant of the realities of war in Europe, Americans failed to see the logic in sacrificing their sons for the cause of another nation. Thus, long after America helped allies win a resounding victory over Germany in the First World War, the debate over the War continued. Causes of the conflict and the conduct of all the participants were minutely examined investigated and analyzed. Numerous books were written on all aspects of the War. Soldiers who returned from European battlefields carried with them physical and emotional scars that took a long time to heal. While it lasted, the war brought pain and misery to those who stayed back home but sent their sons to defend democracy on a distant shore. The speeches preserved on this CD echo the sentiments of American leaders during the War. While some justify - however obliquely - America?s participation in the War, others call for a unified effort by all patriotic Americans to defeat the imperialistic dreams of the Germans. Some speeches defend the integrity of Germans who had made America their home. Live recordings of emotionally charged leaders seem to have helped Americans lay aside the complacency induced by the distance from Europe and her battlefields. Think - what would have been the outcome of the war had US not participated? It is worth pondering over what the outcome of the war may have been had America not pitched in with a hundred thousand men and billions of dollars. The passage of time has dimmed the memory of the Great War and of the men who died in defense of Democracy. Yet it is fitting that we remember their sacrifice and this CD provides a great reminder of this and serves as a re-awakening of interest in the Great War. If you are a patriotic American or a history buff, you need to own this CD right away. |
