Radicalism Against War, 1906-1914: The Advocacy of Peace and Retrenchment

Andrew James Anthony Morris

4.9/5 (33231 ratings)

Description:When the Liberal Government was returned to power under the leadership of Campbell-Bannerman in 1906, the Radical section of the party hoped that it would signal not only the beginning of the end of social injustice, but also the vigorous promotion of retrenchment in armaments and a foreign policy that would ensure peace in the world forever. Anthony Morris's book is an account of the disappointments of this group.In his narrative he examines the case they made in and out of Parliament. He shows also how, while deeply critical of the policies of Grey at the Foreign Office and suspicious and doubtful of Asquith and ministers like Haldane, McKenna and Churchill, they were themselves torn by conflicting loyalties, confused about their priorities, and often ill-informed, so that their energies were directed as much against themselves as against the policies of the party. Mr. Morris also explores the relationships between the different pacifist groups, and between the Radical Liberals and the new Labour party in Parliament. Despite the Radicals' overpowering spirit of optimism, the story is one of frustration and disappointment, and it ends in the immeasurable tragedy of the First World War.This is the first full-scale study of the subject. Interesting and illuminating in itself, the story is not without relevance to our own time. Mr. Morris writes: 'I hope my book will in some way point out that the peace makers are indeed blessed and that war can never be an acceptable solution; merely the vanity of weak men who would have others believe they are strong.'We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
