Explore the other side of the war as seen by a German perspective.

The book assembles Mach’s essays and commentaries written during the first years of World War I, offering a careful, if contested, view of the events that drew nations into conflict. It surveys treaties, press coverage, and official documents to frame Germany’s position and critique the actions of other powers, while arguing for a broader understanding of the war’s causes and responsibilities.

Delivers a historically grounded look at Belgian neutrality and its treatment in major treaties from 1831 to 1870
Examines claims, counterclaims, and the role of official documents in shaping public opinion
Analyzes the behavior of neutrals and the impact of press reporting on wartime perceptions
Frames Germany’s conduct and motives within the broader context of the war’s origins and diplomacy

Ideal for readers interested in wartime diplomacy, media coverage, and the competing narratives that shaped World War I.
