Description: THE THINGS MEN FIGHT FOR With Some Applications To Present Conditions In Europe Written by H. H. (Harry Huntington) Powers, Ph. D., sometime Professor of Economics in Stanford University. Published by The Chautauqua Press, Chautauqua, New York. Copyright 1916; “Published, April, 1916.” This is the first edition as the title page and copyright page dates match and there are no further printings listed on the copyright page. Harry Huntington Powers, 1859-1963 was a world traveler, economics professor at Stanford University as wells an art historian. He was a fairly prolific author of both economics, political and art history texts and essays. This is the first of three books Powers wrote concerning America and the World during the First World War. America Among the Nations (1917) and The Great Peace (1918). DESCRIPTION: 385 pages 8 x 5 1/2 inches first edition hardcover CONDITION: This hard-cover book is in good condition. There is no dust jacket. The mustard yellow cloth hardcover is somewhat soiled with light wear, and bumped corners. There is some spotting and time indents in the lower corner of the rear board. The endpapers are lightly foxed. The interior is good with no names, marks, underlining, tears or odor. The paper is a bit toned with age. The hinges and binding are good with no loose or missing pages. From the author’s preface: I have written this book because I could not help it. No professional or other necessity calls me away from the tranquil field of art into the turmoil of modern strife. But who does not scorn tranquillity in a time like this? Into this titanic struggle my heart enters with all the passionate sympathy of which it is capable. Were I young and free to follow the heart’s behests, I should long ago have found my place in the trenches or in a soldier’s grave. I know what my colors would be…. … As the chief custodian of the world’s future peace, we must understand the nature of war. We shall not bridle its violence so long as we see in it only the tyranny of monarchs or the caprice of naughty nations… Every nation in the present war has its case, a case which it need not be afraid to present before the bar of humanity. Each has done the only thing that it could do, as judged by the standards which we habitually apply to our own national conduct. Any other assumption than this would be supremely implausible; any other would be highly unjust. This assumption must be our woking hypothesis. The passions of partisanship will not teach us the lessons of the war. Can I, feeling these passions to the full, hold them in abeyance, and give each of these peoples its due? Such is my contract with the reader. BECAUSE MEDIA RATE SHIPPING IS FREE ON THE BOOKS I SELL, COMBINE THIS WITH OTHER ITEMS FROM MY EBAY STORE.
