The Kaiser's War

Excerpt from The Kaiser's War

Six of these chapters are republished from the English Review, in certain cases enlarged. On their appearance I was charged by some of my Liberal friends with Germanophobia. I hope this is not so. Up to the outbreak of the war I was in correspondence with good "pals" of mine in Germany; I have known many happy days there, I admire numbers of German things which I do not find in this country, not the least of which is a factual honesty of thought [Germans have been consistently honest in their attitude, our professional politicians have not]; as I have loved so also I have learnt there. In many ways the German attitude towards life is more pleasant than ours, certainly more intellectually stimulating.
