The Kaiser On Trial

The Kaiser On Trial is a historical non-fiction book written by George Sylvester Viereck. The book presents an in-depth analysis of the trial of Kaiser Wilhelm II, the former German Emperor, who was accused of war crimes committed during World War I. The author provides a detailed account of the events leading up to the trial and the legal proceedings that followed. Viereck also delves into the political and social climate of the time, exploring the motivations of the Allied powers to put the Kaiser on trial and the reactions of the German people to the accusations against their former leader. The book examines the evidence presented at the trial, including the controversial Zimmermann Telegram, which played a key role in the decision to prosecute the Kaiser. Throughout the book, Viereck offers his own opinions on the trial and the outcome, arguing that the Kaiser was unfairly targeted and that the trial was a political maneuver rather than a genuine pursuit of justice. The Kaiser On Trial is a compelling read for anyone interested in the history of World War I, the politics of the time, and the legal implications of prosecuting a former head of state.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
