Abstract
A wartime handbook of six chapters from the winter of 1914-15, analysing the Great War as a contest between a German and an Allied re-drawing of Europe. Belloc surveys the true national groupings of the Continent by tradition, language and religion, arguing the war’s stake is the preservation and extension of national liberties.
