Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Inside Story of Austro-German Intrigue: Or How the World War Was Brought About The history of a great war is never written while it goes on or in the decades immediately following. Archives are closed, the memoirs and private papers of participants are not revealed, the parties most interested try to throw a cloud about the causes, origin, and progress of the contest. We are only now beginning to understand the Crimean War of 1854, and are still in grave doubt as to the responsibility for war and peace in the struggle between Japan and China of 1904-05. The World War has proved an exception, for we already know enough of the intimate reasons for the action of most of the great powers for a judgment on the ultimate responsibility, and even on the details of the period immediately preceding hostilities. Conquest and revolution have laid bare the written records. Generals and statesmen, in bickering with each other and trying to throw off unpleasant responsibilities, have furnished the evidence for their own condemnation. From month to month the tide of materials rises till mankind is at last able to pillory the sovereigns, the leading statesmen, and military chiefs of Germany and Austria-Hungary, as the authors of this terrific world woe and the unscrupulous engineers who, for the salvation of mankind, were at last "hoist with their own petard."
