{"product_id":"2940013136601","title":"The Myth of a Guilty Nation","description":"From the introduction:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlbert Jay Nock wrote one of the first American\u003cbr\u003ebooks of WWI Revisionism—revising the received\u003cbr\u003estory of why WWI began. As a lover of\u003cbr\u003ehistory, what is particularly fascinating about his\u003cbr\u003ebook e Myth of a Guilty Nation is not whether\u003cbr\u003ethis is the best explanation for WWI. What is\u003cbr\u003efascinating is the great contrast Nock makes between\u003cbr\u003etwo wholly different views of the origin\u003cbr\u003eof the war. What “everyone knew” about the\u003cbr\u003eorigins of e Great War at the time are quite\u003cbr\u003edifferent from what “everyone knows” now.\u003cbr\u003ee common American notion was that Germany\u003cbr\u003ewas responsible for the war. No less a\u003cbr\u003epersonage than David Lloyd George declared\u003cbr\u003e“What are we fighting for? To defeat the most\u003cbr\u003edangerous conspiracy ever ploed against the\u003cbr\u003eliberty of nations; carefully, skilfully, insidiously,\u003cbr\u003eclandestinely planned in every detail, with ruthless,\u003cbr\u003ecynical determination.”","brand":"ReadCycle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47079294370032,"sku":"2940013136601","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013136601_p0.jpg?v=1763588436","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013136601","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
