"On August 4, 1914, Kaiser William II concluded his speech from the throne with a phrase which, with slight modification, might have commended itself to the leaders of any of the warring states: "From this day on, I recognize no parties but only Germans. " The Great War, which cost him and other of his fellow monarchs their thrones, and in one case life itself, was the supreme instance of the power of nationalism to overwhelm everything binding men in different nations together. Neither a common intellectual heritage, nor the mutual interests of the workers of the world, proved a barrier to violence when the integrity of life of the nation was at stake. By the same token, the clergy of all the major denominations of the West threw their support, material no less than moral, behind the war efforts of their respective countries, while Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish laymen slew their fellow nonbelievers...." - Preface from The Last Crusade: The Church of England in the First World War

Such a book is difficult to title. A History of United States Art sounds awkward and logically might even be construed to exclude the arts of the colonial period. Thus, with apologies to our northern and southern neighbors, I use the title A History of American Art, knowing full well that the terms America and the United States are not synonymous...." - Preface from A History of American Art

This book is in good condition. There is a lot of wear on the front, back, spine and edges of the cover boards. There is also a substantial amount of staining on the cover boards. The pages are yellowed and tanned. There are also markings throughout the book. "The roots of this book reach back to the early 1950s in Paris, where I began my professional career as a journalist. France, supported by the United States, was then fighting to retain its hold in Indochina against the Vietminh, the Communist-led nationalist movement there. As I reported on the French end of the war, I soon became acquainted with the names and places in Vietnam from a distance, But I scarcely imagined that they were to be part of my own experience. Then, in 1959, I was assigned to cover eastern Asia; the region that included Vietnam became my beat for more than two decades.
