Project Gutenberg 2006-11-23 Public domain in the USA. 605 Thompson, John G. (John Gilbert) 1862 1940 Thompson, John Gilbert Bigwood, Inez Winning a Cause: World War Stories E-text prepared by Al Haines "Winning a Cause: World War Stories" by John G. Thompson and Inez Bigwood is a collection of historical narratives aimed at young readers, likely written in the aftermath of World War I in the early 20th century. The work reflects on America's involvement in the war, presenting stories that delve into the heroism of American soldiers, the experiences of combat, and pivotal moments that shaped the outcome of the conflict. The central theme revolves around the ideals of honor, duty, and sacrifice, illustrating America's contributions to the war effort and their moral implications. At the start of the collection, the authors set the stage for understanding why the United States was slow to enter the war. Through a combination of historical context and narrative storytelling, they convey the disconnect between American ideals of peace and the aggressive strategies employed by Germany. The opening portion includes poignant reflections on the first American soldiers to fall in battle and emphasizes the contrasts in worldviews between Americans and their adversaries. The authors hasten to highlight moments that led to the eventual realization among Americans that their involvement was not only necessary but vital for preserving ideals of liberty and justice.
