DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Nationality the War This book is an attempt to review the problems of Nationality in the area affected by the War. My principal object has been to present the existing facts in their historical setting, and where these facts are of a psychological order, as they so often are, I have tried to reproduce sympathetically the different nations' conflicting points of view. Some readers will regret that I have not confined myself to narrative altogether, and will resent the "will" and "ought" that punctuate the "was" and "is." I would answer them that this practical application is the justification of the book. National questions are of absorbing interest at all times to the particular nations they concern; they are of occasional interest to the professional historian who touches them in the course of his research; to the world in general they are normally of no interest at all. "But what are we to do about it?" people exclaim when a problem is thrust upon their attention, and finding no answer they hark back to their own affairs. This normal life of ours has suddenly been bewitched by the War, and in the "revaluing of all our values" the right reading of the riddle of Nationality has become an affair of life and death. The war has exploded the mine upon which diplomatists have feared to tread, and we are walking in a trance across ruins. Solvitur ambulando, or else we break our necks.
