Publisher's Synopsis
The Peril of Prussianism is a book written by Douglas Wilson Johnson in 1917, during the height of World War I. The book is a scathing critique of Prussianism, a political ideology that was prevalent in Germany at the time and was seen as a threat to the rest of Europe. Johnson argues that Prussianism is a dangerous and aggressive ideology that seeks to dominate and subjugate other nations. He traces the history of Prussianism, from its origins in the Prussian state in the 18th century, to its spread throughout Germany and its impact on the rest of Europe. Johnson also examines the role of Prussianism in the outbreak of World War I, arguing that it was a key factor in Germany's decision to go to war. The book is a passionate plea for the defeat of Prussianism and the establishment of a more peaceful and democratic world order. It is a fascinating historical document that sheds light on the political and ideological forces that shaped the early 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
