Very Good. 0879260092. "A devastating refutation of the thesis of primary German responsibility for the first world war, as embodied in Bernadotte Schmitt's 'The Coming War', Scribner, 1930, the final and most voluminous American effort to pin responsibility for the war on Germany" (Stimely, 1981 Revisionist Bibliography, page 13). xxxii, 236 pages.

This work reviews the work of Prof. Schmitt, one of those who long after the truth had begun to emerge endeavored to maintain the myths of Allied propaganda from the Great War. The author absolutely again and again refutes the Allied perspective that has so permeated our textbooks and histories. Gentlemen and good scholars, the bottom line is that not only should the US remained out of the war, it should probably aided the Central Powers.
All the strained efforts of Schmitt and those who still insist on the guilt of Germany in 1914 are shown for the perversions they are. Laboriously researched and full of microscopic detail, this work should be placed in every college and military academy in the United States. Perfect for the scholar, the researcher, the honest amateur, this work is a MUST READ for every World War Il enthusiast.
