Synopsis
Excerpt from And the Kaiser Abdicates: The German Revolution, November, 1918 August, 1919
Much of the history told deals with matters of which the author has personal knowledge. He had been for several years before the war resident in Berlin as an Associated Press correspondent. He was in Vienna when the Dual Mon archy declared war on Serbia, and in Berlin during mobili zation and the declarations of war on Russia and France. He was with the German armies on all fronts during the first two years of the war as correspondent, and was in Berlin two weeks before America severed diplomatic relations with Germany. The author spent the summer of 1917 in Russia, and watched the progress of affairs in Germany from Stock holm and Copenhagen during the winter of 1917-18. He' spent the three months preceding the German Revolution in Copenhagen, in daily touch with many proved sources of information, and was the first enemy correspondent to enter Germany after the armistice, going to Berlin on November 18, 1918. He attended the opening sessions of the National Assembly at Weimar in February, 1919, and remained in Germany until the end of March, witnessing both the first and second attempts of the Spartacans to overthrow the ebert-haase government.
The author's aim in writing this book has been to give a truthful and adequate picture of the matters treated, without any tendency whatever. It is not pretended that the book exhausts the subject. Many matters which might be of inter est, but which would hinder the straightforward narration of essentials, have been omitted, but it is believed that noth ing essential to a comprehension of the world's greatest political event has been left out.
