| adam_text | IN THE SPRING OF
1917,
America went to war with an innocent
determination to re-make the world. When the smoke lifted in November
1918,
the nation emerged with its sense of purpose shattered, with its cer¬
tainties shaken, and with a new and unwelcome self-knowledge. Seventy-
five thousand American soldiers had lost their lives, and back home a
Pandora s box of suspicion and surveillance had been opened, never to be
closed again.
In The Last Days of Innocence, Meirion and Susie Harries reveal how the
fight to preserve freedom abroad led to the erosion of freedom at home.
Drawing on American, British, and French archival material, the authors
reveal unplanned and uncoordinated field efforts, as well as the unsavory
activities of anti-dissent groups, from the Committee for Public Informa¬
tion to the
Anti-
Yellow Dog League, including a posse of children orga¬
nized to listen for antiwar talk among families and friends. Here is the
story of the fifty-billion-dollar war that gave birth to the Selective Service
Act, threatened labor rights, stoked the fires of racial and religious intoler¬
ance, and concentrated the nation s wealth into fewer hands than ever
before. Both absorbing and persuasive, The Last Days of Innocence tells
the untold story of the war that rudely thrust Americans into an uncertain
future
—
a war whose effects remain with us today.
