Lichnowsky memoir reveals German diplomacy aims and British moves
Prince Lichnowsky details his life as German ambassador to London, the memory of Beethoven, and his role shaping policy before World War I. He argues England sought balance, negotiated with France and Russia, and that German aims in Africa and Asia Minor faced British concessions. He recalls Haldane talks, Grey mediation, and warning signs before the July crisis.
