Book Description

Excerpt from The Secrets of the Hohenzollerns My first book, The Secrets of the German War Office, has been the target of much eriti cism. Some of the criticisms I appreciated and found more or less justified. Others, were too ill-informed and contemptible to represent even a casual judgment of the facts. It appears that the purchase of a book entitles the buyer to criticize; be it so. Some unofficial representatives of governments, notably the Ger man, have seen fit to attack me in their usual un derhanded way. I understand their necessity for so doing. Also, I expected this, for I have been long enough in their employ to know the wherefore and the why. I have made no answers to these attacks, for I hold, with the sages of old, that too strenuous a denial is the nat ural act of a guilty conscience. I do not ask for sympathy or tolerance, for neither has ever been mine, besides I can do very well without them.
