The Evidence in the Case / A Discussion of the Moral Responsibility for the War of 1914, as Disclosed by the Diplomatic Records of England, Germany, Russia

A legal-style analysis of the diplomatic correspondence among the principal European powers before the outbreak of the war, presented as an argument about moral responsibility. The author examines official records from multiple governments, highlights omissions and suppressed communications, and argues that certain military decisions—particularly the violation of neutral territory—amount to breaches of international law and conscience. The work assembles documentary evidence, critiques the conduct of key governments, and frames the controversy for judgment by world public opinion, expanding an initial newspaper paper into a systematic, chaptered presentation of facts and interpretations.
