Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Great War and the Great War of the Ancient Greeks There is no commoner cause of historical misjudgment than the tendency to read the events of the past too exclusively in the light of the present, and so twist the cold and unconscious record into the burning service of controversial politics.
