Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Essays and Speeches on Various Subjects The prophet is proverbially without honour in his own country and the greatness of Stresemann´s achievement was not recognised by his own countrymen until after his death, if, indeed, it is even now adequately appreciated by them. In such cases the judgment of foreigners may approach nearer to the verdict of history, for at least it is not likely to be unduly biassed in his favour. Now by that judgment Stresemann stands forth clearly as the greatest of post-war Germans and as one of the greatest statesmen of his time whose premature death, worn out by ceaseless work and combat, was a loss not merely to his Fatherland but to the world at large. And this tribute by foreigners to his greatness is the more remarkable because he was so essentially German. Physically he appeared the type of the Prussian junker. Intellectually there was no trace in him of the Latin mind and hardly more affinity with the Anglo-Saxon. He impressed and, as you came to know him, he attracted by sheer force of ability and character, by courage, honesty of purpose and breadth of view. He was the initiator of the policy which led to Locarno, a policy of appeasement and in a certain measure of reconciliation. He displayed in pursuit of that policy indomitable courage and profound and far-sighted sagacity, but it would be a mistake to assume that, because he thus helped to bring England and Germany together, he was animated by the motives or shared the feelings which led the average Englishman to welcome his advances. There was nothing of the internationalist about him except his clearness of vision and firm grasp of realities.
