Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book by Ralph Graham Taber is an anthology of anti-German poems and prose to tell of Germany's role in World War I. Inspired by Woodrow Wilson's call to encourage a fighting spirit among Americans, the author penned these various short works from 1917 to 1918. Taber paints Germany as a beast in need of extermination and advocates for an American attitude of uncompromising alliance with France and England. Filled with metaphors of light and dark and good versus evil, he urges the preparedness necessary for a fight between the antichrist Germany and the forces of world peace. These jingoistic and polemical writings are situated within a period of intense pro-war American sentiment: the First World War saw fervent patriotism and national loyalty among American citizens. As a propagandistic historical resource, this book may be of use to scholars of the era and the war as one example of extreme pro-war rhetoric.
