Description
Excerpt from The Genesis of the World War: An Introduction to the Problem of War Guilt
This book is frankly what the title implies: an introduction to the study of the problem of the responsibility for the World War. It aims to present the subject as it now stands on the basis of the secret documents published since 1917 and Of the monographic literature which has ap peared in this same period, analyzing and as sessing the significance of this new documentary material. It is the purpose of the writer to arouse interest in the subject and to create a general conviction that there is here a major in ternational problem, the nature and importance of which are scarcely realized by even the aver age educated American. If this primary pur pose Of the book is realized, it is hoped that it will serve a second function equally well, namely, to act as a guide to the study of the more tech nical and voluminous literature.
