Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History and Achievements of the Fort Sheridan Officers' Training Camps Drive the lesson home to everyone, make our people understand it, educate them to the necessity of saving this country from wars and rumors of wars, place the task on the shoulders of all and the burden will be light. With this accomplished, our fallen student officers will sleep in peace. Their reward will be a prosperous nation, a war free nation. Those who have been so fortunate as to have passed through this awful struggle and lived, let them spread the gospel of Preparedness, let them remind their forgetful neighbors that, behind all agreements, behind all treaties, behind all League of Nations or Hague Tribunals, there must be organized power to compel obedience. This power of a nation is its trained manhood; without it we have to petition for peace, with it we dictate peace. J. A. Ryan. Brigadier-general U. S. Army, Commandant of Second Fort Sheridan Training Camp. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
