About this ebook
This 1914 book was written for an American readership in response to a polemic by Professor Münsterberg defending the German view of the war. Here, Powys contrasts the idea of the "omnipotent and irresistible State-machine" of the Germans to the Allies' aim of protecting "the individual against the State."
