The Defeat In The Victory (1921)

""The Defeat in the Victory"" is a book written by George Davis Herron and published in 1921. The book discusses the aftermath of World War I and the Treaty of Versailles, which ended the war. Herron argues that the treaty was a ""defeat in the victory"" because it failed to address the root causes of the war and instead imposed harsh penalties on Germany, which would ultimately lead to further conflict. Herron was a prominent Christian socialist and pacifist who had been an advocate for peace during the war. In the book, he criticizes the ""old order"" of European politics and calls for a new world order based on cooperation and justice. He argues that the war was caused by a system of imperialism and militarism that had been perpetuated by the ruling classes of Europe. Herron also discusses the role of the United States in the war and the peace negotiations. He criticizes President Woodrow Wilson for his idealism and inability to achieve his goals at the peace conference. Herron argues that Wilson's failure to achieve a just peace would have disastrous consequences for the world. Overall, ""The Defeat in the Victory"" is a passionate critique of the Treaty of Versailles and the political system that led to the war. Herron's message of peace and cooperation remains relevant today, as the world continues to grapple with the legacy of World War I and the challenges of creating a more just and equitable global order.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
