About this ebook
“NOT long after the Revolution, when it became clear that an essential share of the blame for the German collapse would be ascribed to me, I decided to give a public account of my stewardship. I soon realized that I could only explain the actual connection of events both to the German people and to myself if I submitted the charges made against me to a careful examination, and also made up my mind to understand the point of view of my opponents.
“As early as 1919 I found myself compelled to define my attitude to the disputed happenings of 9th November. I did this in a publication which was printed in all the newspapers but was virtually hushed up in the controversial literature.
“In the study and self questioning of eight years I think I have got as near the truth as I can.
“In the course of my work my apologia has grown into something different—an account based on original sources of that fateful epoch of the history of Germany in which I was involved. I put my trust in the weight of the facts.” (Prince Max of Baden)
Prince Max of Baden Baden
MAXIMILIAN ALEXANDER FRIEDRICH WILHELM MARGRAVE OF BADEN (1867-1929), also known as Max von Baden, was a German prince and politician. He was heir to the Grand Duchy of Baden and in October and November 1918 briefly served as Chancellor of the German Empire. He sued for peace on Germany’s behalf at the end of World War I based on U.S. President Woodrow Wilson’s Fourteen Points, which included immediately transforming the government into a parliamentary system and proclaiming the abdication of Emperor Wilhelm II. WILLIAM MOIR CALDER (1881-1960) was a teacher, author and translator. A native county of Moray, through Edinburgh, where he taught for more than twenty years, he made seventeen archaeological journeys between 1908 and 1954 to central Asia Minor, and was a founder member and, later, President of the Ankara Institute. Born in 1881 at Edinkillie, Moray, after graduating from the University of Aberdeen he moved to Oxford, where he was in tum Craven Scholar, Craven Fellow and Hulme Research Student at Brasmose, he travelled extensively, working at the Sorbonne, Berlin and Rome and reaching Turkey for the first time in 1908. He was appointed Hulme Professor of Greek at Manchester between 1908 and 1913 and during this time travelled widely in Lycaonia, Phrygia and Galatia, collecting epigraphic and topographical material and developing his special interests in the Phrygian language and in the problems of the early spread of Christianity. After WWI, which he spent at the Admiralty, and the subsequent Greco-Turkish War, Calder set out on two archaeological expeditions, details of which appeared in a series of articles in 1924 and a book, Monumenta Asiae Minoris Antiqua, in 1925.
