With the Allies

In “With the Allies”, first published in 1914, Richard Harding Davis says the Great War was not a war against the Germans, but a war against the military aristocracy of Germany. Harding Davis speaks of the lack of knowledge in the United States about the war and he blames censorship and the lack of understanding of the massive scale of the war.
The author believes that America had to take part in the action, because the fight in Europe was not a fair fight.

In conclusion, “With the Allies” is an early appeal by Richard Harding Davis, American war correspondent, to denounce neutrality and take an active role in the conflict on the side of the Triple Entente, making his case from German ‘crimes of aggression’.
