"J'Accuse!" stands to-day the foremost of all books dealing with the War because it was a concrete historical statement by a German of the responsibility for the beginning of the World War. The Germans have made futile efforts to purge themselves of the crime of having brought on the war.' (Quote taken from the front panel of the dustwrapper) ***Richard Grelling (11 Jun 1853 - 14 Jan 1929) was a German lawyer, writer and pacifist who wrote the international best selling book "J'Accuse" in World War I, publicly criticizing the actions of Germany for waging a war of aggression in Europe. Richard Grelling was born in Berlin, at that time the capital of Prussia. He studied law but after finishing his studies worked as a writer and dramatist. In 1892 he was a founder-member of the German Peace Society, of which he was vice-chairman. From 1903 he lived near Florence, until Italy joined the belligerents in 1915, after which he moved to Switzerland. In 1915 Grelling wrote the anti-war book entitled "J'Accuse", condemning the actions of Germany in causing the war through its foreign policies. The book was banned in Germany but was translated into many languages and enjoyed huge sales. Printed excerpts in the form of propaganda leaflets from its text were dropped by aircraft of the British Expeditionary Force into the Imperial German Army's trenches in France before the Battle of the Somme in 1916 in an endeavour to undermine the fighting morale of the German troops situated there. He followed this success of "J'Accuse" with "Das Verbrechen" (The Crime), in which he attacked his critics, including his son, the philosopher Kurt Grelling. He later worked for several newspapers, among them the Frankfurter Zeitung. During the Weimar Republic most of his writings were boycotted. Grelling died in Berlin.
