We Are in This War
We Were Forced Into It
T
' -Ambassador Gerard
HE full account of just how we were forced. into it, and what would have happened
to us if we had longer ignored the danger, as told by Ambassador Gerard himself.
makes one of the most remarkable stories of all history.
It is a story that has not been told before. It will create a sensation in every
capital in the world. Some of the facts disclosed have a significance that will extend
even past the end of the present conflict.
Mr. Gerard paints his picture of Germans and of Germany by relating a multi
tude of incidents amusing, dramatic and tragic which convey a clearer understand
ing of the real Kaiser and the real Germany than could be gleaned from volumes of
prosaic description.
Through it all runs the fascinating account of Gerard's personal experiences
his interviews with the Kaiser, his encounters with the Prussian chiefs, his virtual
imprisonment at the end.
