Description

TRANSLATORS INTRODUCTION LIEUTENANT BERGERS volume will rank high among post-war documents. It is not a treatise, not a philippic, not a plea for or against the order which has arisen in Germany since the Revolution. It is a report on conditions in Germany, moral and physical, such as the author found them during the armistice period-a report which bears all the earmarks of fidelity and open-mindedness. It is, moreover, characterized by a vivid sense of values and a penetrating understanding of G e m psychology. The New Germany or the New Prussia for the author didnt carry his inquiry beyond the borders of Prussia is described not as a hostile Entente critic might see it, but as the Germans, or Prussian, themselves see it. It was a happy idea to go among these people in the ealy period of the revolutionary reorganization and to let them say for themselves what was their attitude toward the new order, and what were their mental reactions to their war crimes and to the peace of justice to them a peace of violence which the Allies were about to impose on them. Lieutenant Berger doesnt write like a soldier, or from the point of view of a soldier. The rernarkable thing about his work is its lightness of touch. It is clear, sparkIing, and incisive. The chapter devoted to Rosa Luxernburg exhibits a high degree of Iitetary sensitiveness and imaginative syrnpathy. To American readers the chapters dealing with the Independent Socialists and the leaders in the abortive Sparticide revolt will be of especial interest. The American public knows something about the men of the Empire, who have now passed from the stage. It has a slight acquaintance with Brockdorff-Rantzau, Lichnowsky, HeEerich, Rathenau, Reventlow, Harden, and Theodor WoH. It has heard something of Scheidernann and Erzberger. But Haase, Bernstein, Kautsky, Liebknht, and Rosa Luxemburg are hardly more than names. The part they played in the Revolution has been obscured by the Republican as well as the Imperial censorship. Lieutenant Berger makes them all distinct and intelligible figures. The revelations he offers in the case of Rosa Luxemburg- Red Rosa -are piquant and dramatic. They help to give this interesting book the character of an original and creative study of the New Germany in the making. The author takes credit merely for having Introduced a veracious stenographers report. He has done more. He has offered us a picture of the Germany of to-day, skillfully drawn and of permanent historical value. The title of Lieutenant Bergers book is The New Germany, and this title is retained in the body of the translation. It is changed to Germany After the Armistice on the title page, to avoid confusion with another book recently published in this country It is not enough merely to impose a peace on Germany. We ought to know with whom we are dealing, what figures hide behind those pacific masks, what sort of people are the men of the old order who have rallied so promptly to the support of the Republic what sort are the Socialist Republicans, who were only yesterday the servitors of the Empire. It is good to know what they think of their country and of their conquerors--those captains of German industry who were bent on subduing the world, those military chieftains who, instead of letting others go their own way, were bent on having a brutal and rapacious victory...
