Why We Are At War

By Woodrow Wilson

Book Overview

""Why We Are At War"" is a book written by Woodrow Wilson, the 28th President of the United States. The book was first published in 1917, during World War I, and it provides a detailed explanation of why the United States entered the war. Wilson argues that the United States had a moral obligation to join the war in order to defend democracy and human rights. He also discusses the role of Germany in the war and the threat that it posed to the United States and the world. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of the war and the reasons why the United States became involved. Wilson's writing is clear and persuasive, and he provides a thorough analysis of the political, economic, and social factors that led to the war. Overall, ""Why We Are At War"" is an important historical document that sheds light on the complex and often controversial reasons behind the United States' involvement in World War I.This in itself might presently accomplish, in effect, what the new German submarine orders were meant to accomplish, so far as we are concerned. We can only say, therefore, that the overt act which I have ventured to hope the German commanders would in fact avoid has not occurred.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
