Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Truth About Germany I have come back from Germany believing that the Germans are better losers than could have been credited in advance or is realised now by those who have not taken the necessary pains to inform themselves. Nor IS this unnatural for human nature bears adversity better than prosperity, and endurance is distinctively a virtue of the German. The Germans distinguish between the territorial victory which the French have won over them, and our victory, which, for want of a better word, I shallcall moral. With the French, their age-old enemies of alien race and qualities, the Germans have often quarrelled about the buffer-lands between the two countries. With ourselves, whom they thought nearer them in nature, they fought fora mastery which, again, I shall call moral. They seem to me to realise their failure and the collapse of their gigantic effort to win world leadership, which has brought them loss and suffering and despair, has opened their eyes to many things. They realise, as never before, the elements of superiority in British life and character. It is not unfair to say that in the Great War our own Overseas Dominions and the United States rediscovered Britain for themselves. So have the Germans done. I found many Germans ready to admit that German nerves are inferior to British, and that life in this country distils somehow a something which makes for victory in the supreme encounters. On the political side they see how' much wiser was Bismarck's policy of maintaining good relations with Britain and Russia than the Haunting provocations of William II. Their experiments in free constitutional government have the hearty backing of most of the nation it is only a minority, of uncertain size, that wishes to go back to the old regime under which the Kaiser, the General Staff of the Army, and the bureaucracy ruled, while the Reichstag provided the decorative exterior of Government. The new experiment is conducted under difficulties. One of these difficulties is that Britain, the home of the Parliamentary principle, views the experiment somewhat sceptically, whereas the Germans, very earnest in the matter, and, perhaps, a little na'r've, had hoped for her benevolence and encouragement.

This book was released on 2017-11-20 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from To All the World (Except Germany) War is madness. No language is adequate to convey even an idea of the aftermath of this present war. Future history alone can demonstrate its utter futility. The flower of the great nations will fall. Billions and billions of debt will be incurred, with nothing to Show for the outlay. Billions will be lost in the destruction of property. And in the loss of trade. Rich men Will be made poor, and poor men will be in want. The Empire Of Germany, that was making such rapid strides in all com mercial, mercantile, and economic pursuits, will be universally execrated, and its name, which has shone so brightly, in the light of progress and construction, will now be tarnished by. The miasma Of retrogression. The label which we have been so accustomed to see, Made in Germany, will no longer be a help to the manufacturer or the salesman of that country, but rather a direct drawback.

Download or read book My Four Years in Germany Classic Reprint written by James W. Gerard and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from My Four Years in Germany I am writing what should have been the last chapter as the foreword of this series of articles, because I want to bring home to our people the gravity of the situation; because I want to tell them that the military and naval power of the German Empire is unbroken; that of the twelve million men whom the Kaiser has called to the colours but one million, five hundred thousand have been killed, five hundred thousand permanently disabled, not more than five hundred thousand are prisoners of war, and about five hundred thousand constitute the number of wounded or those on the sick list of each day, leaving at all times about nine million effectives under arms. I state these figures because Americans do not grasp either the magnitude or the importance of this war. Perhaps the statement that over five million prisoners of war are held in the various countries will bring home to Americans the enormous mass of men engaged. There have been no great losses in the German navy, and any losses of ships have been compensated for by the building of new ones.

This book was released on 2018-01-13 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Friendly Germany, Why Not? No attempt has been made in the following pages to deal exhaustively with the subject of anglo-german relations. My object has been to suggest new trains of thought and to put a new point of view to those who, either from want of due consideration or from the habit of reading in the Press and elsewhere alarmist reports of German hostility, have come to the regrettable conclusion that war between Great Britain and Germany is inevitable and impending. I have tried to show not only that there is no foundation for such a view, but that, for the sake of Western civilisation in particular and of the world in general, it is desirable that the two countries should be united by a close bond of friendship, and essential that they should not be parted by an artificial agitation. I have received a great deal of help in the preparation of this book from friends in England and Germany, and have much pleasure in acknow ledging it.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The German Enigma: Being an Inquiry Among Germans, as to What They Think, What They Want, What, They Can Do Monsieur Bourdon has, therefore, chosen the bolder course, which happens also to be the wiser course. He has broken down the barrier of fear and distrust. He has taken the first step. He has gone to the Germans in a Spirit of frankness and conciliation. He has tried to get at their thoughts and after-thoughts. He has cross-examined the German people, and he has cross-examined them with consummate tact and skill. An unofficial ambassador of peace, he has revealed all the qualities of a diplomat, and he has added qualities which the diplomat does not often possess, outspokenness and uprightness, a loyal regard for truth, and that moral preoccupation and that delicate sense of international honour which are generally alien to the Official diplomatic mind.

This book was released on 2017-10-21 with total page 834 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Germany, 1715-1815 The appended lists of authorities do not of course make any pretensions to be exhaustive bibliographies: the first gives the names of the principal books from which I have taken my information, the second of some books to which I would refer any one who wants more information on particular points than is here given. Other references will be found from time to time throughout the book to other works which I have consulted less frequently or on special points. Some books (indicated by an asterisk) which appear in both lists have been published since the manuscript of the book was first completed, now some time ago, for unforeseen difficulties have caused considerable delay in the appearance of the book. I have thus not been able to utilise several volumes which might have been very helpful. Before leaving the subject of authorities I should like to make special acknowledgment of my indebtedness to two works, Dr. Ward's England and Hanover and Mr. Fisher's Napoleonic S tatesmam/zz'p Germany, the first of which I have found exceptionally useful when deal ing with the attitude, not as a rule yery rightly represented, ofs England towards Germany in the first half of the period, while Mr. Fisher's book I found peculiarly illuminating on a subject' on which the German authorities I had utilised were copious rather than clear.

Download or read book Inside the Third Reich written by Albert Speer and published by . This book was released on 1970 with total page 832 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'INSIDE THE THIRD REICH is not only the most significant personal German account to come out of the war but the most revealing document on the Hitler phenomenon yet written. It takes the reader inside Nazi Germany on four different levels: Hitler's inner circle, National Socialism as a whole, the area of wartime production and the inner struggle of Albert Speer. The author does not try to make excuses, even by implication, and is unrelenting toward himself and his associates... Speer's full-length portrait of Hitler has unnerving reality. The Fuhrer emerges as neither an incompetent nor a carpet-gnawing madman but as an evil genius of warped conceits endowed with an ineffable personal magic' NEW YORK TIMES

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The War and Its Economic Aspects And though I am convinced that the German Govern ment and the German nation supporting it are pro foundly in the wrong; though I am sure that it made a fatally unwise decision in determining, at all risks, to back up - nay, to prompt -austria though I feel that it has quite misunderstood both the purposes 'and the temper of England; though I have not the slightest doubt that it is the bounden duty of every Englishman to do all that in him lies to bring about Germany's complete defeat I am not going now to deny to Ger many the qualities which first called forth my respect, and I am not going, if I can help it, to pay any German the poor compliment of returning his hatred. Hatred, indeed, blinds the eyes; and England wants to he as clear-sighted as possible to bring this war to a speedy and successful conclusion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from What Germany Wants During the preparation of this book the writer received from his uncle, a veteran army officer living in Dresden, a brief note containing the following laconic record: I793, your great grandfather at Kostheim. 1815, your grandfather at Liegnitz. 1870, myself - all severely wounded by French bullets. 1914, my son, captain in the 6th Regiment of Dragoons. Four generations obliged to fight the French! When the writer turns to his American friends of French descent, he finds there similar records, and often even greater sorrow, for death has come to many of them. In Europe their families and his have looked upon each other as enemies for generations, while a few years in the clarifying atmosphere of America have made friends of former Frenchmen, Germans, Russians, and Englishmen.
