The writers from the past tell us their contemporary stories

Explanation:

In this passage, it is stated that the writers from the past tell us their contemporary stories. Through their stories, they managed to convey messages and capture the stories from the past. We should read their narratives and in that way keep in touch with the past. A good example of these descriptions is a book "Les Misérables" by Victor Hugo. Besides describing all the troubles of the main characters (and thus describing all the hardships of the people living in those times), Hugo also makes a realistic setting of his contemporary France. This book is also a good source of historical facts and it simply makes us feel the atmosphere of France in 19th century. This is just one example of how the writers make significant connections throughout centuries.

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
