"Juli 1914" von Emil Ludwig (1929) '-' During the 1920s the author achieved international fame for his popular biographies which combined historical fact and fiction with psychological analysis. Ludwig writes about July '14: This book is a study of the stupidity of the men who in 1914 were all-powerful, and of the true instinct of those who, at that time, were powerless. It is international in outlook, and shows how a peaceable, industrious, sensible mass, of 500 millions, was hounded by a few dozen incapable leaders, by falsified documents, lying stories of threats, and chauvinistic catchwords, into a war which was in no way destined or inevitable. The book Includes for example the following essays: The Murder, The War Counts, The Ultimatum, Dismay, Excitement, At Sea, Expectation, The Concert of Europe, The Neutrals, Treachery, and The Avalanche. Illustrated throughout in black and white.
