When originally published in 1915, the author stated in his
preface: "This book - which is mainly composed of selections from
the work of Treitschke - has not been put together with a
controversial purpose, but in the belief that English men may find
it worth their while to understand the political philosophy which
is now the vogue in Germany." Heinrich von Treitschke (1834-96) was
a German historian, sometimes called the "Machiavelli of the 19th
century." A fervid partisan of Prussia, he left Baden at the
outbreak of the Austro-Prussian War (1866) and became professor of
history at Kiel (1866), Heidelberg (1867), and Berlin (1874). He
edited from 1866 through 1889 the monthly Preussische Jahrbuucher
and became Prussian state historiographer in 1886. As a young man,
he was strongly nationalistic and liberal; as he grew older his
political views became more nationalistic and less liberal.
Although a member of the Reichstag, he was not especially
successful as a practical politician. His writings, however,
reflected his political views, his deep hope for the unity and
greatness of Germany under Prussian leadership, and his admiration
of Bismarck and the Hohenzollerns. They also reflected his strong
anti-Semitism. His theories had great impact on the new generation
and in academic circles. Treitschke's histories, stirring and
graphic and excellent in workmanship, are nevertheless distorted by
his fanatic nationalism and his pernicious biases. His masterpiece
is his History of Germany in the Nineteenth Century (in 7 volumes,
1915-19). Among his other works are Politics and Origins of
Prussianism.
