"Ten Years Near the German Frontier: A Retrospect and a Warning" by Maurice Francis Egan is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book provides a reflection on Egan's experiences as the United States Minister to Denmark, detailing the geopolitical tensions surrounding Danish territories and German ambitions during a tumultuous period in European history. The text serves as both a retrospective of his diplomatic encounters and a cautionary tale regarding the dangers posed by aggressive nationalistic policies. At the start of the narrative, Egan introduces the central conflict between Denmark and Prussia, specifically focusing on the contentious history surrounding the acquisition of Slesvig and the broader implications for European stability. He reflects on the historical injustices faced by Denmark as it grappled with the threat of German dominance, exploring the political dynamics and the sentiment among both Danish citizens and their royal family. Egan emphasizes the significance of understanding the past to navigate the present and future, urging readers to recognize the pressing need for awareness of international relations, especially for smaller nations threatened by larger powers.
