"Professor Fischer's great work is possibly the most important book of any sort, probably the most important historical book, certainly the most controversial book, to come out of Germany since the war. Its German edition has already forced the revision of widely held views of Germany's responsibility for beginning and continuing World War I, and of supposed divergence of aim between business and the military on one side and labor and intellectuals on the other."
