Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Kaiser as I Know Him For fourteen years the Kaiser was my patient. All I know of him and all that he told me came to me while the relation of patient and dentist existed between us. For that reason I felt at first that no matter how vital to the Allied cause might be the information I could give as to the Kaiser's Viewpoint, ambitions, and plans, the require ments of professional ethics must seal my lips and compel me to withhold it from the world at large. When, however, I considered the grave crisis that confronts the world and in which my own country is playing so important a part, and realised that what I knew of the Kaiser might prove of some value to my country, I concluded that my patriotic duty was para mount and rose superior to any of the ordinary demands of professional ethics.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Real Kaiser The personality of the Kaiser is so many sided that his true psychology is very difficult to discover by the ordinary newspaper reader, who, for twenty years, has taken at face value every one of his numerous speeches without remembering the one that preceded it. Since the war broke out, extracts from these speeches have been presented to the public, with the effect of entirely bewildering the large class who have intelligence, but have no specialized knowledge of Germany and her ruler. To them, modern Germany, with her dreams of world-domination, as it is now made known, is an entire contradiction of all their preconceived views of the peaceful domestic nature of the German people, and the Kaiser is a dozen different men in one body. Yet the careful student of things and persons German for the past quarter of a century finds himself in no amazement about the war and its conduct by Germany, and to him the Kaiser as the Peace-bringer, the "shorter catechist," and the war lord, not to speak of the painter and the musician, show one strong personality and purpose underlying each exaggerated manifestation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from He Conquered the Kaiser It was, moreover, his knowledge Of the motives of men and of monarchs that left him quite undismayed when the launch with its dead had rushed past him up-stream. He saw at once that the man who handled the tiller was an emissary of the Prince of Sylvania, and that he would not dare to disclose his plight to the police. He knew very well that it would be better for him to return and ask the aid of the man whose life he had sought than to have any dealings with the slow and exacting Officials of Scotland Yard. It was this that made Mr Jones SO confident when he said to Strong: He will come back. The accident of Strong's introduction to the incident was, of course, annoying; but Mr Jones felt quite sure of his silence, and saw no need for disclosing the cherished secret of his identity. Here, however, he made a miscalculation, for Mr Montgomery Jones' secret was quite well known to Strong. It was this knowledge, indeed, which to some extent had made the ﬂirtation with Miss Diana Montgomery Jones so inexpressibly sweet. It is not every day that one can dally with a princess in disguise. For this strange young man possessed a certain element of romance, which, if it is present in men of action, produces great results. And romance is after all only imagination, which John Oliver Hobbes said she had found more keenly developed in men of affairs than in poets. And Strong, though at that time no one ever dreamed it, was essentially a man of affairs. He was for the time a dreamer-a lazy troubadour waiting to be stung into action by necessity; and when the sting that produces action comes to the man of imagination the world is apt to know of it.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Behind the Scenes With the Kaiser (1888-1922), Vol. 2: The True Story of the Kaiser as He Lived, Loved, Played and Warred If the tour or outing on which they were about to enter had been under consideration for some time, a printed itinerary was furnished to the chief of each department, but quite frequently no one was able to learn anything beyond the hour of departure. The Kaiser, you know, addressed his attendants only in monosyllables, and did not even take the trouble to speak distinctly. To ask repetition of a sentence, or to put any question whatever, would have been an unheard-of breach of etiquette, so nothing remained to do but to take chances and work ahead in the dark, the more so, as the adjutants often knew no more of his Majesty's intentions than the small stableboys who went with every imperial party to assist at tennis. Especial secrecy was observed if the destination was some town or fortress in the far west or east of the Empire, where, after a night of travel, the war-lord intended to mount at five or six o'clock in the morning, and, attended by trumpeters and a formidable suite, ride through the streets alarming the garrison.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spies of the Kaiser (1909) is a novel by Anglo-French writer William Le Queux. Published at the height of Le Queux’s career as a leading author of popular thrillers, Spies of the Kaiser indulges in the paranoid atmosphere of the leadup to World War One to weave a sinister tale of espionage and political conspiracy. Despite the playful and imaginative nature of his fiction, Le Queux was genuinely concerned—and immensely paranoid—about the possibility of war with Germany. In addition to selling countless copies, his work inspired a generation of secret service officers who would go on to form Britain’s legendary MI5. “Germany is our friend—for the moment...What may happen to-morrow?” Alerted to a possible plot by German secret agents to invade Britain, a young solicitor and his trusted allies attempt to disrupt these shadowy figures—before it’s too late. While a nation wakes, works, eats, and sleeps, these anonymous heroes track down sources, search for clues, and place their lives on the line for the good of the many. While the truth is unclear, the stakes are not: the fate of their people is in their hands. Written only a few years before the outbreak of the First World War, Spies of the Kaiser incorporates years of research and experience to weave a tale from the deepest fears of the nation. With detailed maps, secretive discussions, and prescient descriptions of submarines and airplanes used for war, Le Queux’s novel seems pulled from headlines yet unwritten, and tragically to come. While not much is known about the author, it is possible his claims of firsthand knowledge regarding the murky movements of spies and diplomats throughout Europe and Britain were true. One thing, however, is certain: his paranoia was far from unfounded. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of William Le Queux’s Spies of the Kaiser is a classic espionage thriller reimagined for modern readers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What were the consequences for Germany, and the world, that William II was Kaiser at the onset of the 'Great War'? In The Kaiser and His Times (first published in 1964), Michael Balfour analyzes the social, constitutional, and economic forces at work in imperial Germany, and sets the complex and disputed character of the Kaiser, who occupied such a central position in the three decades before 1918, in the context of his family background and the history of Germany. '[Balfour] has borne in mind the Kaiser's own request to the head of his military Secretariat - 'Not dry reports only, please, but now and then a funny story.' The circumstances that allowed to Kaiser to live as if 'The greater part of his life... was illusion' would make comic reading if the results had not been so tragic...' Kirkus Review

With parent divination, he prepared His children to defend the home they love. Not his intention to encourage war: Ambition was to make them perfect men And women. And he did. In science, art And literature, the envy of the world. The German, from the marrow, democrat, Whom subtle Greeks with nicety defined The people's highest concept of a man; Most independent of the sons of earth; Accepts no truth, untried by reason: God Himself he would not own, nor would obey, Did not conviction tell him bow his head. You cannot herd the German, nor stampede; He follows blindly no king, how much loved. To him the state is only means to end' The end, the weal of individual men. This core-deep independence, unrestrained, For centuries divided Teuton strength. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Kaiser as He Is or the Real William II: Le Veritable Guillaume II If M. de Noussanne's little volume were simply what it appears to be on the surface - a fascinating collection of intimate and lively sketches - the necessity of introducing author and book to an audience of English readers might be questioned, and the appearance of such an introduction regarded as an obstacle to the fun that is to come and a damper on its exuberance and freedom. Why the Kaiser dismissed Bismarck, coerced the Poles, despised Socialists; how he addresses the members of his family, his soldiers, his subjects; what he thinks and what he does, would require no prefatory note. Cable despatches from Berlin have long given these things the background and atmosphere necessary to fill them with a human interest that has probably never before been bestowed upon the acts and words of any man. But one does not have to venture far in these pages before realising that the author has undertaken the exposition and solution of a very serious problem. The anecdotes concerning the whims of the monarch, his ideas on social and domestic economy and the army, his criticisms of, and his achievements in, the arts of expressions are all, through the Frenchman's graceful and subtle pen, recorded as formative influences cast upon the King by the man von Hohenzollern, and hence upon the Emperor, and ultimately upon the people of Prussia and the Germans of the Federation.

Book excerpt: The incredible true account of World War I in Africa and General Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck, the last undefeated German commander. “Let me say straight out that if all military histories were as thrilling and well written as Robert Gaudi’s African Kaiser, I might give up reading fiction and literary biography… Gaudi writes with the flair of a latter-day Macaulay. He sets his scenes carefully and describes naval and military action like a novelist.”—Michael Dirda, The Washington Post As World War I ravaged the European continent, a completely different theater of war was being contested in Africa. And from this very different kind of war, there emerged a very different kind of military leader.... At the beginning of the twentieth century, the continent of Africa was a hotbed of international trade, colonialism, and political gamesmanship. So when World War I broke out, the European powers were forced to contend with one another not just in the bloody trenches, but in the treacherous jungle. And it was in that unforgiving land that General Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck would make history. With the now-legendary Schutztruppe (Defensive Force), von Lettow-Vorbeck and a small cadre of hardened German officers fought alongside their fanatically devoted native African allies as equals, creating the first truly integrated army of the modern age. African Kaiser is the fascinating story of a forgotten guerrilla campaign in a remote corner of Equatorial Africa in World War I; of a small army of ultraloyal African troops led by a smaller cadre of rugged German officers—of white men and black who fought side by side. But mostly it is the story of von Lettow-Vorbeck—the only undefeated German commmander in the field during World War I and the last to surrender his arms.

Long time Mayor of Syra cuse, he always held the support of the German peo ple, irrespective of party ties. It is perfectly natural for him to defend German ideals and causes, for he is a student and writer on German history, philosophy and poetry, as well as a firm friend and son of Ire land with an international reputation.

Book excerpt: Prince Bismarck's greatness as a statesman and his imperishable services to Prussia and Germany are historical facts of such tremendous significance that there is doubtless no man in existence, whatever his party affiliations, who would dare to place them in question. For this very reason alone it is stupid to accuse me of not having recognized the greatness of Prince Bismarck. The opposite is the truth. I revered and idolized him. Nor could it be otherwise. It should be borne in mind with what generation I grew up—the generation of the devotees of Bismarck. He was the creator of the German Empire, the paladin of my grandfather, and all of us considered him the greatest statesman of his day and were proud that he was a German. Bismarck was the idol in my temple, whom I worshiped. But monarchs also are human beings of flesh and blood, hence they, too, are exposed to the influences emanating from the conduct of others; therefore, looking at the matter from a human point of view, one will understand how Prince Bismarck, by his fight against me, himself destroyed, with heavy blows, the idol of which I have spoken. But my reverence for Bismarck, the great statesman, remained unaltered. While I was still Prince of Prussia I often thought to myself: "I hope that the great Chancellor will live for many years yet, since I should be safe if I could govern with him." But my reverence for the great statesman was not such as to make me take upon my own shoulders, when I became Emperor, political plans or actions of the Prince which I considered mistakes. Even the Congress of Berlin in 1878 was, to my way of thinking, a mistake, likewise the "Kulturkampf." Moreover, the constitution of the Empire was drawn up so as to fit in with Bismarck's extraordinary preponderance as a statesman; the big cuirassier boots did not fit every man. Then came the labor-protective legislation. I most deeply deplored the dispute which grew out of this, but, at that time, it was necessary for me to take the road to compromise, which has generally been my road both on domestic and foreign politics. For this reason I could not wage the open warfare against the Social Democrats which the Prince desired. Nevertheless, this quarrel about political measures cannot lessen my admiration for the greatness of Bismarck as a statesman; he remains the creator of the German Empire, and surely no one man need have done more for his country than that. Owing to the fact that the great matter of unifying the Empire was always before my eyes, I did not allow myself to be influenced by the agitations which were the commonplaces of those days. In like manner, the fact that Bismarck was called the majordomo of the Hohenzollerns could not shake my trust in the Prince, although he, perhaps, had thoughts of a political tradition for his family. As evidence of this, he felt unhappy, for instance, that his son Bill felt no interest in politics and wished to pass on his power to Herbert.
