I Accuse! (1915)

By Richard Grelling and Alexander Gray

Book Overview

I Accuse is a book written by Richard Grelling and published in 1915. The book is a scathing critique of German society and its role in the outbreak of World War I. Grelling, a German philosopher and pacifist, argues that Germany's aggressive militarism and nationalism were responsible for the war, and that the German people were complicit in these actions. He accuses the German government of lying to its people and manipulating them into supporting a war that was unnecessary and unjust. The book's title is a reference to the famous open letter by French writer Emile Zola, in which he accused the French government of anti-Semitism and injustice in the Dreyfus Affair. I Accuse had a significant impact on the German public and was widely read and discussed. It remains an important historical document and a powerful indictment of the dangers of nationalism and militarism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
