England's Holy War (Classic Reprint): A Study of English Liberal Idealism During the Great War: A Study of English Liberal Idealism During the Great War (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

How liberal writers helped turn a great war into a moral crusade—and what that means for understanding the press today.

This study examines the ways in which the Liberal press shaped and justified World War I as a Holy War. It reveals how ideas previously voiced as pacifism or restraint were transformed into strong, sweeping rhetoric that supported a long, costly conflict. The book centers on how journalists and editors framed the war, how their thinking shifted, and what the outcome revealed about political opinion, media influence, and national sentiment during the war era. What you’ll experience

• An inside look at how wartime rhetoric evolves in the press and public discourse.
• Analysis of the tension between pre-war Liberal ideals and wartime actions.
• Discussion of the moral language used to justify policy and mobilization.
• Context for how media narratives affected public perception of war aims and its aftermath.
