This fervent piece is a call to action, urging Americans to eschew any form of collaboration with the Germans, particularly emphasizing the importance of not assisting the Irish nationalists who might align with German interests against Britain. Manners employs a passionate and persuasive tone to rally support for the Allied cause, articulating the moral and ethical imperatives that justify a staunch stance against Germany. His argument underscores the threat posed by the Central Powers to democratic values and international peace. The pamphlet serves not only as a political plea but also as a moral guide to maintaining integrity and unity in the face of global conflict. This specific copy is signed with a dedication to Robert Loraine, linking the literary effort directly to a notable figure of the time. J. Hartley Manners was an influential English playwright and author born in 1870. Renowned primarily for his works in the theater, Manners also engaged in writing that addressed broader social and political issues, particularly during World War I. His plays often explored complex emotional and societal themes, reflecting his deep understanding of human psychology and contemporary challenges. Manners was married to actress Laurette Taylor, for whom he wrote several successful plays, significantly shaping her career and legacy in the theatrical world. His literary output, including pamphlets like "Hate with a Will to Victory," highlighted his commitment to the Allied cause and his adeptness at using the written word to influence public opinion and morale during critical times. Robert Loraine was a celebrated British actor, aviator, and soldier, born in 1876. His dynamic career was marked by significant achievements in both the arts and aviation. Loraine was one of the early proponents of military aviation, recognizing its potential long before many of his contemporaries. His theatrical career was distinguished by powerful performances in both Shakespearean and modern roles, making him a respected figure on the stage. As a soldier in World War I, Loraine's bravery and strategic acumen earned him multiple commendations. His life reflected a blend of artistic sensitivity and military toughness, making him a unique and revered personality of his era. This dedication in "Hate with a Will to Victory" connects him personally to Manners’ work, underscoring mutual respects and shared values. ; 17.5 x 12 x 1 cms; 59 pages.
