My Mission to London, 1912-1914

"My Mission to London, 1912-1914" by Karl Max Fürst von Lichnowsky

Marx was a German diplomat who served as ambassador to Britain during the July Crisis and who was the author of a pamphlet that deplored German diplomacy in mid-1914 which, he argued, contributed heavily to the outbreak of the First World War. In this book, he discusses his work in England and during the July Crisis. During the July Crisis of 1914, Lichnowsky was the only German diplomat who raised objections to Germany's efforts to provoke an Austro-Serbian war, arguing that Britain would intervene in a continental war.
