Autobiographical account of Karl Max, Prince Lichnowsky (1860-1928), a German diplomat who served as the ambassador to Great Britain during the July Crisis. Lichnowsky elaborates on his diplomatic trip to London from 1912-1914. This was his famous pamphlet (first privately published in 1916) in which he denounced Germany's actions. The 1917 edition published in the United States led to his expulsion from the Prussian House of Lords. Notably, Lichnowsky was the only German diplomat at the time who had raised objections to the German government's approach to diplomacy. He had feared Germany's interest in provoking an Austro-Serbian war would result in Britain entering the war, thus sparking a continental war. Unfortunately, Lichnowsky's fears proved to be correct with the onset of World War I. Preface by Professor Gilbert Murray.
