Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Modern Germany: Its Rise, Growth, Downfall and Future The Sixth Edition of Modern Germany is, as the title-page states, entirely re-written and very greatly enlarged. It is in reality a new book. Hence the question arose whether it should appear under its old title or under a new one. The first five editions were mainly devoted to pointing out the probability and danger of a German attack upon civilisation, and to analysing the sources of the strength of Imperial Germany and the elements of its weakness. The attack, of which I had warned the nations in general, and England in particular, in numerous books and articles ever since 1900, took place at the exact moment which I had indicated in 1907 (seep. 447 of this work), and it ended as I had often foretold (see, for instance, pp. 447 to 450), in Germany´s defeat and downfall, in revolution, and in the disappearance of the Hohenzollern dynasty. A new Germany is arising. Owing to the march of events readers are no longer interested in the aims and ambitions and the foreign and domestic policy of defunct Imperial Germany. They wish to understand the causes of Germany´s meteoric rise, of its wonderful political and economic success and of its downfall, and to form an idea as to the future of New Germany and of the German race. To analyse and describe these is the purpose of this book. Therefore, it had to be re-written throughout. There was a considerable demand for a new edition of Modern Germany both in England and in the United States. As portions of the fifth edition have been embodied in the present volume, it seemed only fair to intending purchasers to indicate that fact by preserving the old title for what is practically a new book. Of course, very drastic changes had to be made to bring it up to date. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
