Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Moral Conquest of Germany Knowledge of the German character might have prevented World War II. This is why in this moment of decision of world importance I once more try to delineate the German national - character as a warning not to try "democracy" in Germany before a period of education. It is both wrong and dangerous to accept a political distinction between Nazis and Germans, as German propaganda would have it. This book offers a case for the guilt of the German nation. I have attempted before to present the two sides of the German character: in three studies on Bismarck, the Kaiser, and Hindenburg, and in my biographies of Goethe and Beethoven. These two sides I combined in my book The Germans: Double History of a Nation. Its publication was three years ahead of public opinion in this country; in 1941 the German problem was hardly recognized as such. In England, where the upper classes had come to know the Germans well by the bombs from above and by Lord Vansittart's excellent writings from within - the book became much more popular. A bit of the material in that book has meanwhile found its way into writings of other authors, such as Creel, Nizer, Schwarzschild from whom I am now borrowing some details. I have come forward with practical suggestions on the postwar treatment of Germany in lectures and broadcasts, in articles and pamphlets, before the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of Representatives, and before the Amg at Charlottesville. Many of these ideas were widely contested at the time of their appearance, but today most of them have been accepted.

Download or read book The Moral Conquest of Germany written by Emil Ludwig and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-01-07 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emil Ludwig (1881-1948) was among the leading novelists and political thinkers of his time. The Moral Conquest of Germany - written shortly before the end of World War II - provides an incisive analysis of Germany's history, its national character and its reconstruction after the war. Ludwig advocated a comprehensive reeducation effort to permanently uproot German militarism and nationalism and prevent another round of German aggression. Ludwig's book influenced US occupation policy in Germany after the war, but was heavily criticized by others for its negative and pessimistic portrayal of the German nation. With this new edition, readers will once again have the opportunity to read this important work.Emil Ludwig was born in 1881 in Breslau, Germany (today Wroclaw, Poland) to a secular Jewish family. During World War I, he worked as a war correspondent in Vienna and Istanbul. In the 1920s, Ludwig achieved fame with his biographies of great politicians and artists such as Rembrandt, Napoleon, Bismarck, and Goethe. Many of his works were translated into English and became international bestsellers. In his native Germany, Ludwig was a controversial figure: Germany's university historians envied the newcomer's success and objected to his unconventional approach, which combined storytelling, historiography, and psychoanalysis. Ludwig was among the sharpest critics of German nationalism and warned early on about the rise of the extreme right and anti-Semitism. In response to the murder of Germany's Jewish foreign minister Walter Rathenau in 1922, Ludwig publicly announced his return to Judaism. In his 1937 book The Davos Murder, he described David Frankfurter, who had assassinated a Nazi official in Switzerland, as a modern King David, earning him a prominent position on the Nazis' blacklist. In 1940, he emigrated to the US from Switzerland, where he was living since 1906. Emil Ludwig returned to Europe after the war and died in Ascona in southern Switzerland in 1948.

This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Causes of Germany's Moral Downfall The following lectures were delivered in Meadville, Pa., on the live Sundays from November 17 (1918)to December 15. They were inspired by the wide public interest in the overthrow of Germany by the Allied nations after more than four years of terrible and uncertain warfare. Many of those who heard them felt that the speaker had succeeded in giving a well-balanced statement of the good and evil of the German system, and expressed the hope that they might be published and reach a wider audience. With the exception of half a dozen additional pages, they are published as they were spoken. The writer does not pretend to any originality nor to any personal knowledge of Germany except such as one gets from hurried travel. The only merit of his lectures, if they have any at all, is the effort to understand before condemning, and to set the Germany which has given such mortal offence to the world over against the older and more idealistic Germany. The lectures were delivered in the first place not to scholars but to the general public, and their usefulness in printed form will be for the general reader only. It is the writers conviction that we owe it to our loyal German-American friends and fellow-citizens to be discriminating in our condemnation of their ancestral home. Our case against the Germany of the last few years is so strong that we do not weaken it, but rather strengthen it, by trying to see by what aberrations that Germany came to be.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Searchlight on Germany: Germany's Blunders, Crimes and Punishment The blunders of Germany constitute a spectacle of very much more than passing interest. The questions they raise are by no means academic. The logic of them is as inexorable as Death. They are of vital interest to every freeman, and to every state and nation that sincerely undertakes to con serve the rights of its people. To unhappy Austria, shoved into the war by Germany, they are of life or death interest. A correct view of Germany is now absolutely essential to the future freedom of man!

Mighty deeds raised Germany from political disruption and feeble ness to the forefront of European nations. But we do not seem willing to take up this inheritance, and to advance along the path of development in politics and culture. We tremble at our own greatness, and shirk the sacrifices it demands from us. Yet we do not wish to renounce the claim which we derive from our glorious past. How rightly Fichte once judged his countrymen when he said the German can never wish for a thing by itself he must always wish for its contrary also.

Download or read book Germany Under Three Emperors Classic Reprint written by Princess Catherine Radziwill and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Germany Under Three Emperors Amid all the grave preoccupations that have absorbed the world during the last three years and prevented it from thinking about the past I experienced a strong feeling of hesitation before deciding to relate the incidents of which I write. And yet, according to the eloquent remark of Catherine the Great, it is only in reading the past that one can foresee the future, so far, at least, as the historical development of nations is concerned. Perhaps, indeed, Europe would have fared better had it studied with closer attention the events that gradually transformed Prussia into the powerful war machine the great European conflict has proved her to be. The processes of Militarism spread over three reigns. In the development of these processes is embodied practically all the history which Germany has made under William I., Frederick III., and, so far, William II. Any account of Germany under these three Emperors, therefore, must perforce make that predominance the thread of the narrative, and particularly must this be so with the present volume, which deals with the political evolution of Germany in its relations with the rest of Europe. From this same cause, too, it is inevitable that, even to the limits of iteration, one name should recur. For who but Bismarck was mostly responsible, through the three reigns, for the international political situation?
