The Spirit of Selective Service is a book written by Enoch Herbert Crowder in 1920. Crowder was a prominent lawyer and served as the Judge Advocate General of the United States Army during World War I. The book is a detailed account of the Selective Service Act of 1917, which was passed by the United States Congress to authorize the conscription of American men into the military during World War I.The book provides an in-depth analysis of the Act, its implementation, and its impact on American society. Crowder describes the challenges faced by the government in drafting and training soldiers, as well as the difficulties of maintaining morale and discipline in the military. He also discusses the controversies surrounding the Act, including the opposition of some religious and political groups who believed that conscription violated individual rights.Throughout the book, Crowder emphasizes the importance of the Selective Service Act in mobilizing the American military and contributing to the Allied victory in World War I. He argues that the Act was a necessary measure to ensure that the United States could effectively participate in the war effort and protect its interests abroad.Overall, The Spirit of Selective Service provides a comprehensive and insightful look at the history of conscription in the United States and the role it played in World War I. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in military history or the social and political impact of wartime policies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
