Autobiographical account of Karl Max, Prince Lichnowsky (1860-1928), a German diplomat who served as the ambassador to Great Britain during the July Crisis. Lichnowsky elaborates on his diplomatic trip to London from 1912-1914. This was his famous pamphlet (first privately published in 1916) in which he denounced Germany's actions. The 1917 edition published in the United States led to his expulsion from the Prussian House of Lords. Notably, Lichnowsky was the only German diplomat at the time who had raised objections to the German government's approach to diplomacy. He had feared Germany's interest in provoking an Austro-Serbian war would result in Britain entering the war, thus sparking a continental war. Unfortunately, Lichnowsky's fears proved to be correct with the onset of World War I. Preface by Professor Gilbert Murray.…

Description A remarkable and controversial memoir by Prince Karl Max Lichnowsky, German Ambassador to Britain during the crucial years immediately preceding the outbreak of the First World War. In Heading for the Abyss, Lichnowsky provides a firsthand account of European diplomacy, Anglo-German relations, and the political misjudgements that he believed led Europe into catastrophe. Drawing upon personal experience and diplomatic correspondence, the author offers a candid critique of German foreign policy and reflects upon the failures of statesmanship that culminated in the events of 1914. The volume includes material relating to his London mission, international diplomacy, and the growing tensions between the European powers before the war. Published in 1928, the book remains an important primary source for historians of the First World War and twentieth-century diplomacy. It continues to attract collectors interested in European political history, international relations, and pre-war Britain and Germany.…
