A diplomat’s inside account of how one empire helped shape a world at war.
This memoir offers a firsthand view of high-stakes diplomacy, late-1910s decisions, and the tangled web of alliances that led to a global conflict. It examines the driving forces, missteps, and pressures that influenced German policy on the eve of World War I. In clear, restrained prose, the book lays out the challenges of balancing alliance commitments, national prestige, and international expectations. It seeks to explain how rulers, ambassadors, and advisers interpreted events as they unfolded, and what those choices meant for Europe and beyond.
