"Frenzied Liberty; The Myth of 'A Rich Man's War'" by Otto H. Kahn is a wartime commentary where the author passionately defends America's role in World War I, tackling misconceptions surrounding a profit-driven war agenda. Kahn confronts claims that wealthy elites manipulated the conflict for financial gain, countering that America's involvement was a necessary stand against oppression, demanding sacrifices from every citizen, not just the poor. The narrative challenges the wide-spread assertions, propagated by radical ideologies, arguing that war is detrimental to business interests, and stresses the importance of national unity to combat extremist threats. Kahn advocates a balanced socio-economic response rooted in personal responsibility, individual opportunity and collective well-being.
