=The Religious Telescope=: “WAR—WHAT FOR? is a remarkable book no matter
how you take it. The logic of its mass of facts furnishes food for
reflection; trenchant discussion of the war question, ... burning vigor,
biting sarcasm, ... gruesome illustrations and hideous word
pictures—simply command attention and get it. The author ... intensifies
every aspect of woe attaching to every phase of militarism, which it
knocks down and out.... It is a strange and striking book and you cannot
pooh-pooh it....”
=The Platform, Chicago= (full column editorial review): “... If at this
moment we had the power to put one book into the hands of each man,
woman and child on earth, that book would be WAR—WHAT FOR?... The most
powerful, convincing and humane book that has ever fallen into ye
editor’s hands....”
=Upton Sinclair, Author of the Jungle=: “... Take my advice about this
book and get it ... a most extraordinary book ... a perfect cyclopedia
of ... material, the most effective material that can be imagined, and
presented with extraordinary fire and conviction....”
=Rev. Peter Molyneaux, Pastor of First Unitarian Church, Wheeling, W.
Va.=: “Let me thank you for writing WAR—WHAT FOR?... The spirit of a
toiling, suffering, upward struggling humanity speaks from its pages.”
=Eugene V. Debs=: “... This wonderful book—the book of an epoch, an
immortal achievement. WAR—WHAT FOR? has set fire to all the blood in my
veins....”
=Timothy Walsh, Assistant Financial Editor of the New York World=: “A
book that should be in the hands of every parent in the land....”
=Appeal to Reason=: “... It is the most scathing indictment of war, and
the most terrible impeachment of the powers and personalities
responsible for war ever written....”
=St. Louis Labor=: “A powerful indictment of war....”
=International Socialist Review=: “This book is a denunciation, an
exposition, a revelation and a terrible indictment of war ... a wealth
of data....”
=Rev. J. Alexander Cairns, D.D., Newark, N. J.=: “... A masterpiece....
This book is worthy the struggle and toil of a lifetime....”
