Produced by Jonathan Ingram, Brett Koonce and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "England and the War" by Sir Walter Alexander Raleigh is a historical account published during the late 1910s, comprising a collection of essays and addresses that reflect on the nature and implications of World War I from an English perspective. The text touches upon various themes, including national identity, morality in warfare, and the contrasting characters of England and Germany amidst the global turmoil. The opening portion of the work delves into the author's preface, where he admits that his thoughts and lectures during the war have primarily revolved around the conflict itself. Raleigh discusses the difficulty of understanding the German psyche, suggesting that the war has exposed fundamental character differences between the English and the Germans. He argues that the war is not just a military clash but a battle of ideas, as each nation stands for distinct principles. Raleigh also emphasizes the importance of recognizing both nations' unique histories and suggests that England's fight is not solely for territorial integrity but for a moral purpose, while Germany embodies a dangerous doctrine he criticizes. This introductory segment sets the stage for a deeper analysis of the war's ideas and consequences, illustrating Raleigh's belief in the importance of understanding the ideological and ethical stakes of the conflict.
