| Summary | "Face to Face with Kaiserism" by James W. Gerard is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The author, who served as the U.S. Ambassador to Germany during World War I, provides a detailed examination of the German political landscape, particularly focusing on Kaiser Wilhelm II and the militaristic ideologies that led to the war. Gerard's insights are intended to illuminate the nature of the Kaiser’s ambitions and the impacts of German policies on international relations. The opening of the work sets the stage for Gerard's reflections on his experiences during his ambassadorship in Germany. He emphasizes the pervading belief among Americans that Kaiser Wilhelm embodies the essence of Germany and its wartime aggressions. Through a series of personal anecdotes and observations, Gerard delves into the personality and motivations of the Kaiser, highlighting his ambitions for a German world empire and the political machinations he employed to pursue these goals. Importantly, he touches upon the manipulation of public sentiment in Germany and the dynamics between the Kaiser, his advisors, and the military, laying the groundwork for understanding the complex interplay of power that characterized Germany during the tumultuous period leading up to and during the war.
