Excerpt from Central Europe
Friedrich Naumann is probably the most widely read political writer in Germany. "He has his readers" - wrote a competent and not too sympathetic reviewer before the war - "in the workman's cottage and the undergraduate's sitting-room, in the boudoir of the millionaire's wife and in the offices of high officials." And the war gave him an opportunity he was quick to seize. His work on Mittel-europa, here translated, is far and away the most important book that has appeared in Germany since the world-conflict began. It expresses, with a contagious enthusiasm, aspirations already deeply rooted in many German minds; it makes out of them a systematic scheme, commended by eloquence and buttressed by historical and economic learning. If, as I believe to be the case, the idea of an organised and close-knit Central Europe as one of the world-Powers of the future has by this time come to be the dominating thought in German politics, Naumann's book has undoubtedly done much for its diffusion.
Some light is thrown upon it by its author's carrer.
