Description
Excerpt from Entente Diplomacy and the World: Matrix of the History of Europe, 1909-14
The fact that I was for several years on the staff Of the Russian Embassy in London brought me into immediate contact with the most important happenings Of the last five years before the war. Though taking no active part, yet Observing and endeavoring to analyze what I saw, I found myself face to face with events which could leave no doubt in the judgment Of an unprejudiced observer that Europe was experiencing one Of the most critical periods Of its history and appeared to be hastening towards an inevitable catastrophe.
It was then that the thought came to me to write a history of this time in later, more dispassionate and enlightened years. The original documents now published by me, together with comprehensive notes re garding personal impressions, Observations and conversations, were to serve as material for this work.
