August of 1914, the start of the Great War, was a month that changed the course of civilization forever. 109 years later, the Guns of August book bundle from Liberty Fund takes a closer look at the implications of war and intervention.
The Texts
Our Guns of August bundle features some of the leading thinkers of the 20th century writing about how the World Wars changed Western civilization and how war and intervention have shaped our society. Robert Nisbet argues that the role of the United States changed forever following World War I, and any concept of nation must include this historical development. Ludwig von Mises argued that the economic fallout of the Great War was as important a factor as foreign policy in the creation of a new monetary order. Discussion of the First World War leads into an explanation of the Second through the lens of seasoned journalist William Henry Chamberlin. And finally, The American Nation is a collection of primary sources that demonstrates America’s emergence as a major power on the world stage.
