Heading For The Abyss

by Karl Max von Lichnowsky

""Heading For The Abyss"" is a memoir written by Prince Lichnowsky, a prominent German diplomat who served as the ambassador to Great Britain before and during the First World War. The book provides a unique perspective on the events leading up to the war and the diplomatic efforts made to prevent it. Prince Lichnowsky offers a critical analysis of the German government's role in the war and its decision-making process. He also discusses the personal relationships he developed with key figures in British politics, including Prime Minister H.H. Asquith and Foreign Secretary Sir Edward Grey. The book provides a fascinating insight into the complex political landscape of Europe in the early 20th century and the disastrous consequences of the First World War. Prince Lichnowsky's memoir is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of diplomacy and international relations.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
