The Barbarism of Berlin

Name: The Barbarism of Berlin
Author: G. K. Chesterton

G. K. Chesterton

Chesterton's first essay on the war of 1914, written within weeks of the invasion of Belgium: the war on the word, the refusal of reciprocity, the appetite of tyranny and the escape of folly. The case against Prussian philosophy and its contempt for treaties and for small nations.
