Excerpt from A Friendly Germany, Why Not?
No attempt has been made in the following pages to deal exhaustively with the subject of anglo-german relations. My object has been to suggest new trains of thought and to put a new point of view to those who, either from want of due consideration or from the habit of reading in the Press and elsewhere alarmist reports of German hostility, have come to the regrettable conclusion that war between Great Britain and Germany is inevitable and impending. I have tried to show not only that there is no foundation for such a view, but that, for the sake of Western civilisation in particular and of the world in general, it is desirable that the two countries should be united by a close bond of friendship, and essential that they should not be parted by an artificial agitation.
I have received a great deal of help in the preparation of this book from friends in England and Germany, and have much pleasure in acknow ledging it.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book argues that the idea of a foreign situation is a myth and the so-called facts that support widespread fear and apprehension are really just perceived threats made up for political gain. The author argues that the tensions between Britain and Germany that have led to the spread of rumors and fear are simply a set of perceptions that have been fueled and promoted by a dogmatic assertion that the two nations are destined to be at war. The author places this in the context of the many other times in history when myths of an inevitable and impending conflict between major powers have turned out to be entirely manufactured. The author goes on to argue that the problems of the world, such as the threat of civil unrest, racial warfare, and the threat of war between superpowers can only be solved when nations like Britain and Germany work together as allies and friends. The author concludes by asserting that recognition of this is the only path to the preservation of Western civilization.
