Barbara W. Tuchman Quote

As the final crisis boiled, his marginalia on telegrams grew more and more agitated: Aha! the common cheat, Rot! He lies! Mr. Grey is a false dog, Twaddle! The rascal is crazy or an idiot! When Russia mobilized he burst into a tirade of passionate foreboding, not against the Slav traitors but against the unforgettable figure of the wicked uncle: The world will be engulfed in the most terrible of wars, the ultimate aim of which is the ruin of Germany. England, France and Russia have conspired for our annihilation
