On the causes of the Great War: "...one is struck with the
overwhelming mediocrity of the people involved. The character of each of the
leaders, diplomats, or generals was badly flawed by arrogance, stupidity,
carelessness, or weakness. There was a pervasive tendency to place the
preservation of one's ego before the preservation of peace. There was little
insight and no vision whatsoever. And there was an almost total absence of excellence
and generosity of spirit. It was not fate or providence that made these people
fail so miserably. It was their own evasion of responsibility. As a result of
weakness, a generation of Europe's young men was destroyed. The sins of the
parents were truly visited on the sons, who forfeited their lives. Of all the cruelties
that people have inflicted on one another, the most terrible have always been
brought by the weak against the weak." (pg 23)
