Excerpt from Modern Germany: Her Political and Economic Problems, Her Foreign and Domestic Policy, Her Ambitions, and the Causes of Her Success, Third and Very Greatly Enlarged Edition, Completely Revised and Brought Up to February 1999The fifth edition of Modern Germany is practically a new book. The last four chapters, containing about a hundred pages, have been added. They deal with the War, its causes and probable consequences, and I venture to think they should be of particular interest at the present moment. In Chapter XXXII, The Ultimate Ruin of Germany, a pessimistic forecast of that country's future is given, While Chapter XXXIII, How the Military Rules Germany, sheds a great deal of light upon the hidden causes of the War. I would draw special attention to Chapter XXXIV, The German Customs of War, and Chapter XXXV, Rules of the Hague Convention. Their perusal will enable every reader to ascertain for himself whether Germany has observed the international laws of war and her own war regulations or whether she has violated either.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
