N2  - "Towards the Goal" by Mrs. Humphry Ward is a historical account written during the late 19th century, specifically reflecting on the widespread impacts of World War I. The book addresses the tremendous national effort made by England in the war, detailing various facets such as military preparedness, the role of the Navy, and the overall industrial mobilization driven by the wartime needs. It also serves as a narrative that connects American readers with Britain's experiences and challenges during this tumultuous period.  The opening of the book features an introduction by Theodore Roosevelt, who highlights England's unparalleled achievement in the face of the war. Mrs. Ward shares her motivation for writing, spurred by the desire to capture the essence of England's efforts in the war, enhancing mutual understanding between the British and American people. It includes personal accounts of her observations from various military outposts and munitions sectors, detailing the rapid developments in naval strength, soldier training, and the emotional responses of both civilians and military personnel. The beginning sets a vivid stage for the ensuing narratives of valor, sacrifice, and national consciousness surrounding Britain’s commitment to winning the war and sustaining its alliances.
