THE FIRST WORLD WAR AS PSYCHOSIS

P. H. Pearse, founder of the Irish Revolutionary movement, was thrilled in 1916 observing the carnage of the First World War:
 

The last sixteen months have been the most glorious in the history of Europe. It is good for the world to be warmed with the red wine of the battlefield. Such august homage was never before offered to God as this, the homage of millions of lives given gladly for love of country.

This seems like a psychotic statement. If you disagree or agree or have an opinion on this issue, write to me at rakoenigsberg@libraryofsocialscience.com

Does the word "psychotic" appear in your texts on the First World War? If not, start over again.
