Beschreibung
»Gottlieb von Jagow and the war guilt question, 1918-1935«: Gottlieb von Jagow (1863-1935), Germanys top diplomat between 1913 and 1916, was a major figure in the debate on German war guilt. In 247 documents this book presents his virtually unknown activities after 1918 in collaboration with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as well as his wide network of diplomats, historians, and publicists. They also illustrate Jagows role as an archetypical figure of the former Prussian-German imperial representatives. These documents allow for a clearer, more focused analysis of events and figures and offer new insight about Jagow himself.
