The PanGerman Plot Unmasked (Illustrated Edition)

Cheradame (1871-1948) was a French journalist and scholar from the Ecole Libre des Sciences Politiques, who also worked for the French newspaper Le Petit Journal. He became known for his books about the geopolitics of Europe during the first half of the 20th century, mainly the aspects of German militarism and its expansionist policies. He predicted, even before the two World Wars, that the German General Staff would have a main role in planning military aggressions with the aim of creating a Greater Germany that would first engulf Central-Eastern Europe, then all of Europe, and by 1950 the rest of the world. He predicted that only by dismantling the militarist German elites and institutions Germany itself would be at peace with the rest of Europe, which the Allies did in fact achieve after WWII, dissolving both Prussia and the German General Staff. This work, subtitled Berlin's Formidable Peace-Trap of "The Drawn War", was first published in the original French in September 1916 and in English translation in January 1917. Illustrated with maps throughout.
