This book is a detailed study of the troubled diplomatic relations between the United States and Germany prior to their break in 1917. Reinhard Doerries focuses on the actions of Johann Heinrich Count von Bernstorff, the Imperial Ambassador in Washington. Bernstorff, a seasoned diplomat, came to Washington in December 1908, during a placid and superficially cordial period in German-American relations. However, the outbreak of the First World War, and particularly the German government's decision in early 1915 to launch an unrestricted submarine campaign against merchant shipping, thrust Bernstorff into the center of a diplomatic firestorm that culminated in an American declaration of war against the German Empire in April 1917. A liberal at heart, and fully at home in Anglo-American politics and society, Bernstorff was a strange representative of the hard-line military leadership and conservative landed gentry steering Germany into the ultimate abyss. In an effort to enable Woodrow Wilson to remain neutral and eventually offer his services as a mediator between the warring European nations, the desperate envoy did everything in his power -- and indeed overstepped his instructions -- to pacify America in the face of such blunders as the torpedoing of the Lusitania. But the Ambassador's conciliatory recommendations fell on deaf ears in Berlin, where ignorance of the realities of international relations and an overestimation of German power reigned supreme. Berlin reacted to Count Bernstorff's advice not by asking Wilson to mediate the conflict but by inviting Mexico to join Germany in declaring war on the United States. Imperial Challenge was first published in German under the title Washington-Berlin, 1908/1917, in 1975, throwing new light on the still-controversial topic of German-American relations prior to 1917 by utilizing new documentary evidence that had become available after World War II. For this American edition, Doerries has undertaken new research, especially in American sources, and he has greatly expanded sections on German espionage, sabotage, and propaganda in the United States from 1914 to 1917. The resulting English-language version of the book is thus the most definitive treatment of German-American diplomatic relations during the critical period prior to U.S. entry into World War I.

In a book that is both biography and the most exciting form of history, here are eighteen years in the life of a man, Albert Einstein, and a city, Berlin, that were in many ways the defining years of the twentieth century. Einstein in Berlin In the spring of 1913 two of the giants of modern science traveled to Zurich. Their mission: to offer the most prestigious position in the very center of European scientific life to a man who had just six years before been a mere patent clerk. Albert Einstein accepted, arriving in Berlin in March 1914 to take up his new post. In December 1932 he left Berlin forever. “Take a good look,” he said to his wife as they walked away from their house. “You will never see it again.” In between, Einstein’s Berlin years capture in microcosm the odyssey of the twentieth century. It is a century that opens with extravagant hopes--and climaxes in unparalleled calamity. These are tumultuous times, seen through the life of one man who is at once witness to and architect of his day--and ours. He is present at the events that will shape the journey from the commencement of the Great War to the rumblings of the next one. We begin with the eminent scientist, already widely recognized for his special theory of relativity. His personal life is in turmoil, with his marriage collapsing, an affair under way. Within two years of his arrival in Berlin he makes one of the landmark discoveries of all time: a new theory of gravity--and before long is transformed into the first international pop star of science. He flourishes during a war he hates, and serves as an instrument of reconciliation in the early months of the peace; he becomes first a symbol of the hope of reason, then a focus for the rage and madness of the right. And throughout these years Berlin is an equal character, with its astonishing eruption of revolutionary pathways in art and architecture, in music, theater, and literature. Its wild street life and sexual excesses are notorious. But with the debacle of the depression and Hitler’s growing power, Berlin will be transformed, until by the end of 1932 it is no longer a safe home for Einstein. Once a hero, now vilified not only as the perpetrator of “Jewish physics” but as the preeminent symbol of all that the Nazis loathe, he knows it is time to leave.
