LAST DAYS OF INNOCENCE, THE(ISBN=9780679743767) 英文原版 下载 pdf 百度网盘 epub 免费 2025 电子版 mobi 在线

In the Spring of 1917, America went to war with an innocent

determination to re-make the world. When the smoke lifted in

November 1918, the nation emerged with its sense of purpose

shattered, its certainties shaken, and with a new and unwelcome

self-knowledge. Seventy-five thousand American soldiers were dead,

and back home a Pandora's box of suspicions and surveillance had

been opened.

The Last Days of Innocence reveals how the fight to preserve

freedom abroad led to the erosion of freedom at home. Drawing on

American, British, and French archival material, the authors reveal

unplanned and uncoordinated field efforts, as well as the unsavory

activities of anti-dissent groups, from the Committee for Public

Information to the Anti-Yellow Dog League, including a posse of

children organized to listen for antiwar talk among families and

friends. Here is the story of the fifty-billion-dollar war that

gave birth to the Selective Service Act, threatened labor rights,

stoked the fires of racial and religious intolerance, and

concentrated the nation's wealth into fewer hands than ever before.

The Last Days of Innocence tells the untold story of the war that

rudely thrust Americans into an uncertain future--a war whose

effects remain with us today.

"Well-crafted in every way...a vivid and authoritative

history."--Cleveland Plain Dealer

"A neatly plaited narrative...rich in detail. A splendid

history."--Washington Times
