Arnold Toynbee´s

Recommended Posts

Some time ago I got this book in Spanish from a street vendor. Some of the details fit exactly with what my grandmother used to tell me about the Germans in Liege. The Introduction by Ramiro De Maeztu is very political and extremely interesting. To fill in the bibliographical note I would like to know about the original English edition. There is no reference to it If anybody wants a photocopy let me know.

A note of caution about Toynbee's WW1 work. Although a noted historian, he worked for the War Propaganda Bureau, otherwise known as "Wellington House", after the building in which the bureau was located. His WW1 publications should be read with this in mind.

Thank you Terry. I had noticed the propaganda tone in the writings and even more in the introduction. What amazed me of that book was the coincidence with the view my gandmother got from her mother in law and sisters in law in Liege in 1919. A big thanks also to Paul, I will look for that book in Amazon.
