Understanding Germany: The Only Way to End War and Other Essays

Excerpt from Understanding Germany: The Only Way to End War and Other Essays
To me the latter half of this book is the more important. Any one with a habit of withdrawing once in a while from the current of newspaper emotion might have said a few sensible words about Germany. And that is all I think I have done. But what I have said about War and Patriotism may have a special value in that I do not myself feel patriotic to any country. My sense of solidarity seems to attach to the human race as a whole, or to those classes in every country who are struggling towards liberty. I can not, of course, fore judge what might happen to my emotions if the country in which I function as a citizen were threatened by hostile forces.
