Excerpt from The Secret of the German War Office
In View of the general war into which Europe has been precipitated just at the moment of going to press, it is of particular interest to note that the completed manuscript of this book has been in the hands of the publishers since June lst. Further comment on Dr. Graves' qualifications to speak authoritatively is un necessary; the chapters that follow are a striking commentary on his sources of information.
