About this Item

"During the last three years, a sense of humour and a peculiar obtuseness have played a leading part in the world's history. In August 1914, Prussianism, systemised into a mighty fighting machine, stood before the world, mighty as a Titan and mechanical as a chronometer. But the creators of this colossal organisation had omitted two essential components in their war machine - a sense of humour and its twin brother, a sense of proportion. This shortcoming has lost the war for Germany, as surely as what a distinguished Frenchman called the 'incurable levity' of our men, has won it for the Allies." 100 humourous drawings depicting German history from 120 BC to the end of the First World War. Soft covers a little edgeworn otherwise very good throughout. Seller Inventory # 21753sB5
