Synopsis

This book is an analysis by an English professor of the German mind from the early 1900s up until the midpoint of the first World War. The author proposes that Germany's entrance into the Great War was not simply the result of a decision by a few individuals, but rather a problem with deep roots in the German mindset. The author argues that there was a prevailing German belief that other nations were fundamentally hostile, which justified Germany in pursuing a policy of aggression and expansion. The author contrasts this German attitude with the more peaceful and cooperative attitudes of other nations. The main subject of the book, therefore, is the German mindset, and particularly the ways in which the German mind of the early 20th century came to justify a policy of aggression and expansion. The author provides a deep analysis of the German mind, contrasting German attitudes with those of other nations and showing how these attitudes led to Germany's entrance into the Great War.
