Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The War Spirit of Germany This backwardness in political thought and action constitutes one of the tragedies of the history of Germany. 'in political development Germany is where England stood in the days of Elizabeth. Un der Elizabeth, Parliament played but a small part in the life of the nation. True, it met, though sometimes only at intervals of several years, and it had control of the purse and of the making of new laws. But it voted revenues that the sovereign retained through life without further appeal to Parliament, and, since the sovereign usually thought there were already laws enough and desired little change, no new ones were passed for many years at a time. For the rest, the sovereign and the circle surrounding her controlled and spent the revenue; she named whom she would to office, kept up the army and navy, and resisted any attempt by the representatives of the nation to interfere in these things. W'ith slight differences the German Emperor does the same thing to-day. The German people have no more control over the government of Germany than the English people had over that of England in the long distant days before the struggle with Charles I to secure what Elizabeth had always refused to yield.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Germany and the Prussian Spirit Like John Bull or Uncle Sam, these two German figures are, of course, merely the rough types of popular carica ture; but like all such types they represent an instinctive popular judgment which is seldom very much astray. In the case of Germany, as in other cases, the two figures are founded on broad truth, and they epitomize together in a very Significant way the origin and character of the new German Empire. The transformation of the one into the other is one of the most remarkable events in history. Even so Faust, calling in a dangerous doctor for the trouble of his soul, abandons his study, his books, his tubes and retorts, his doctor's gown, in order to live the worldly life he has hitherto despised.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The German War Book: Being the Usages of War on Land The ideal Prince, so Machiavelli has told us, need not, and indeed should not, possess virtuous qualities, but he should always contrive to appear to possess them.1 The somber Florentine has been studied in Germany as he has been studied nowhere else and a double portion of his spirit has de scended on the authors of this book. Herein the perfect officer, like the perfect Prince, is taught that it is more important to be thought humane than to practise humanity; the former may probably be use ful but the latter is certainly inconvenient.

Alike with regard to the ethnological and to the sociological question, they were substantially set forth by the author in four works written or published before 1900, at a time when he had small expectation of such a war, but was much concerned to combat the forces which can now be seen to have made for it. Formed originally in no spirit of national antag onism, they cannot now be reasonably charged with cultivating that spirit. They were shaped, and are now restated, in the spirit of social science.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from British and German Ideals: The Meaning of the War the Schism of Europe, II, Germany and the Prussian Spirit, III, the Austro-Serbian Dispute Many thousands of books and pamphlets have been written about the great war, describing its origins and the ideals which underlie it. But few of them have arrived at the fundamental truth. This war is the result of the rejection of democracy by Germany and Austria in the years 1848-1870, and its bitterness is due to the fact that two irreconcilable principles, autocracy and democracy, are struggling for supremacy in Europe to-day. It is the purpose of this article to show how autocracy triumphed in those years, how it has steadily corrupted the political sense of the German nation ever since, and how under its baneful influence the rulers and people of Germany have been driven to attempt to establish its predominance over a free Europe by force of arms. It is not possible to trace in detail the history of those tragic years from 1848 to 1870, when reaction triumphed and democracy failed. It will suffice to recall that in 1848 a national assembly of Germany, elected by popular vote, with one member elected for each 500,000 of the population, drew up a Grundrecht for a German union. This fundamental law was conceived on noble lines. Germany was to become a true federation. The thirty-six separate States were to retain local self-government, but there was to be a federal government, superior to them all, to which every German citizen was to owe primary allegiance. The individual citizen was to be guaranteed those rights which the British citizen had won long before in the struggles over Magna Charta, the Habeas Corpus Act, and during the Great Rebellion, and which were eventually embodied in the Bill of Rights of 1688.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Great War, Vol. 3: The Original German Plan and Its Culmination The garrison of Liege and the forts was altogether in adequate. The total Belgian forces in the intrenched camp of Liege did not exceed at any time. They were manifestly too weak to defend the broad intervals between the forts. They should have been at least twice as numer ous. Most of them withdrew after the Germans occupied the city. The garrisons left in the forts were small, and many of the gunners had received no adequate training. The storming of the city was a distinct performance in the series of operations carried on by the Germans in the Vicinity of Liege. A few of the forts were taken at the same time. The Seventh, Ninth, and Tenth German Army Corps had been hastily concentrated on the Belgian frontier without waiting to be mobilized. Light columns were thrown forward without siege-artillery or extensive supplies. They expected to take the city by surprise, where abundant stores of provisions would presumably be found. The German soldiers who first arrived before Liege doubt less suffered considerable hardship from lack of food in consequence of the prolongation of the resistance of the city beyond the prevision of their commanders.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Escaping From Germany In writing the story of my three attempts to escape from Germany, and the experiences and impressions during the three years I was a prisoner of war there, I do so for several reasons, the chief being the requests of my family and intimate friends, that they shall be placed on record, and a feeling within myself that in so relating them an opportunity will be given, not only to my own countrymen and countrywomen, but to the folk of the other allied countries now linked together in the great fight for democracy and freedom, against tyranny and oppression, of studying for themselves the conditions under which we were compelled to live. They will thus learn our sufferings, both mental and physical, of our struggles against starvation, disease, vermin, and filth of all kinds, and in the study be able to compare the treatment meted out to Germans interned in the different countries of the Allied Powers, particularly our own, and that which we received from the hands of our captors during the time the fortunes of war had caused us to be interned in Germany.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the fall of 1918, the Great War has ended and the world is at peace, but there is little to celebrate in Germany. After four years of fighting for his homeland, Christophe Brecht returns to find there is little left of what he once called home. So when family friends ask him to travel to Munich to bring back their runaway daughter, Christophe agrees. When he finally locates Annaliese Duray, he discovers she is far different from the girl he once knew. Headstrong, idealistic, and beautiful, she is on the front lines of the city’s political scene, fighting to give women and working-class citizens a voice in Germany’s new government. As the political upheaval ignites in Munich, so does the attraction between Annaliese and Christophe. With an army from Berlin threatening to squash everything Annaliese has worked for, both she and Christophe are forced to choose between love and loyalty.
