Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Blond Beast June of 1914 - the last month of the Forty Years´ Peace. The lavas of the great volcano had seethed up close under the thin crust of appearances, but the rumble of the approaching cataclysm was too low and deep-pitched for most ears to hear. The mass of humanity had risen to the level of "live and let live." They believed in peace on earth; good will among men. America was busy making and spending money. England had thought for little else than labor troubles and the Home Rule imbroglio. France´s tongue clicked delectably over the Caillaux case. Still more scandalous tales about the grand dukes and the monk Rasputin leaked across the Russian frontier. Germany re-echoed with disputes over the Zabern affair in irreconcilable Alsace ... And down beyond mongrel Austria-Hungary, little Serbia was nursing her wrath against the big bully who had robbed her of the Old Serbia lands - the country of her fellow Serbs that she had freed from the Turk at heavy cost of blood and treasure.
