Beskrivelse af Lord Grey and the World War
Lord Grey and the World War is a historical book written by Hermann Lutz. The book is a detailed account of the role played by Sir Edward Grey, the British Foreign Secretary, in the events leading up to the outbreak of World War I. The author analyzes Grey's diplomatic efforts to prevent the war and his ultimate failure to do so. The book also sheds light on the complex political landscape of Europe at the time and the various alliances and rivalries that played a role in the war. Lutz's writing is well-researched and informative, providing readers with a comprehensive understanding of the events leading up to the war. The book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of World War I and the diplomatic efforts to prevent it.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.
