Beskrivelse af Lord Grey and the World War
Lord Grey and the World War is a historical book written by Hermann Lutz. This book explores the role played by Sir Edward Grey, the British Foreign Secretary, in the events that led up to the outbreak of World War I. The author examines Grey's diplomatic efforts to prevent the war and the complex political dynamics that shaped his decision-making process. The book also delves into the personalities and motivations of the key players in the crisis, including Kaiser Wilhelm II, Tsar Nicholas II, and the leaders of the various European powers. Through a detailed analysis of primary sources and historical accounts, Lutz provides a nuanced and insightful account of the events that changed the course of history. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of World War I and the politics of the early 20th century.1928. Among the statesmen whose influence contributed to determine the course of events in Europe in the decade before the outbreak of the world war, no figure has aroused more controversy than that of Sir Edward Grey, now Viscount Grey of Fallodon. To some he still appears a Machiavelli, perfidious Albion in the flesh; to others a sincere and honest citizen, incapable of the political dealings that shun the light or of anything no straightforward. Some see in him a great statesman; others a bungler, a shortsighted, naive blunderer, lacking in resolution and much more influenced and pushed by his advisers subordinates in the Foreign Office, especially Sir Charles Hardinge, Sir Arthur Nicolson, Sir William Tyrrell, and Sir Eyre Crowe, than the world imagines. These conflicting impressions of Grey are both widely held in Britain. Contents: Predilections and Prejudices; Sir Edward Grey's Free Hand; The Piling of the Faggots; The World Conflagration; and War and Peace.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
