Excerpt from The Political Conditions of Allied Success: A Plea for the Protective Union of the Democracies

The most serious obstacle which the argument of this book has to encounter is a temperamental one - the emotional condition of most of us in war time. That mood is apt to lead us into one of two misunderstandings in considering recommendations such as those here urged: either to the decision that they are presented as an alternative to the active prosecution of the war, and are thus, in however elusive or disguised a form, counsels of surrender; or, if we escape that misunderstanding and realize that the arguments favour the active waging of the war, to the decision that they are superfluous for those already convinced of the need of victory.
