Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Cradle of the War, the Near East and Pan-Germanism
Americans regard the Balkan question much as Lincoln in his Second Inaugural Address described their view of slavery. All know he said, that this interest was somehow the cause of the war. Neither party expected for the war the magnitude or the duration which it has already attained. Neither anticipated that the cause of the con?ict might cease when, or even before, the con?ict itself should cease. Each looked for an easier triumph and a result less fundamental and astounding.
