To Arms (1917)

By Edward Robeson Taylor

Book Overview

To Arms is a historical novel written by Edward Robeson Taylor and first published in 1917. The story is set in the early 1900s and follows the lives of several characters as they navigate the political and social climate leading up to World War I. The main character is a young man named John Ward, who is torn between his pacifist beliefs and the call to arms that he feels as his country prepares for war. Alongside Ward, the reader meets a cast of characters from different walks of life, including politicians, soldiers, and everyday citizens, all of whom are grappling with the same question: how to respond to the looming threat of war. Through their experiences, the novel explores themes of patriotism, duty, sacrifice, and the human cost of war. Despite being written over a century ago, To Arms remains a relevant and thought-provoking work that offers insights into the complexities of war and its impact on individuals and society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
