Under Other Flags - William Jennings Bryan - Bog

Under Other Flags is a book written by William Jennings Bryan, an American politician and orator who served as the Secretary of State under President Woodrow Wilson. The book is a collection of speeches and essays that Bryan delivered during his travels around the world, as well as his observations and reflections on the political, social, and cultural conditions of the countries he visited. Bryan's travels took him to Europe, Asia, Africa, and South America, where he met with heads of state, diplomats, and ordinary people. He discusses a wide range of topics, including imperialism, war, democracy, religion, education, and women's rights. The book is divided into several sections, each focusing on a different region of the world. In the section on Europe, Bryan discusses the causes and consequences of World War I, and argues for the establishment of a League of Nations to prevent future wars. In the section on Asia, he explores the cultural and religious differences between East and West, and advocates for greater understanding and cooperation between the two. Throughout the book, Bryan emphasizes the importance of peace, justice, and human rights, and challenges his readers to think critically about the issues facing the world. Under Other Flags is a thought-provoking and insightful book that offers a unique perspective on the global issues of the early 20th century.1905. Travels, Lectures, Speeches.
