Summary

"The German Emperor as Shown in His Public Utterances" by Christian Gauss is a look into the speeches of German Emperor William II, giving readers insight into his thoughts on Germany and the world as the 1900s began and tensions rose before World War I. The book begins by explaining how William II liked to speak directly to the public, unlike previous rulers, and then prepares to carefully examine his opinions on leading the country, building up the military, and dealing with social problems.
