Summary "Before the War" by Viscount R. B. Haldane is a historical account likely written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the policies and decisions made by the British government in the eight years leading up to World War I, focusing on the interplay between Britain and Germany. It discusses the efforts to avert war while simultaneously preparing for the possibility of conflict, illuminated by Haldane's personal experiences and insights as a key political figure during this tumultuous period. At the start of the book, Haldane outlines his intentions to clarify the British government's policy towards Germany from 1906 to 1914, emphasizing the dual objectives of maintaining peace and preparing for potential war. He reflects on the delicate situation the British faced, balancing public expectations for peace while managing secretive diplomatic maneuvers. Haldane recounts significant diplomatic interactions, including meetings with the German Emperor and other officials, and discusses the increasing tensions between the great powers driven by militarism and competition, thereby setting the stage for the catastrophic outbreak of World War I.
