"The Assault: Germany Before the Outbreak and England in War-Time" by Frederic William Wile is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The narrative reflects on Wile's experiences as an American journalist in Germany during the tumultuous period leading up to World War I and his insights into the political climate of Europe during the war. The book explores themes of nationalism, militarism, and the impending conflict from a personal perspective. The opening of the book introduces Wile's intention to document a personal narrative rather than a traditional war account. He details his background as a journalist who has worked in Germany and England, emphasizing his American identity while navigating complex political landscapes. Wile recounts his prior experiences in Berlin and sets the stage for his observations on the relationships and tensions between Germany and the Allies. Through his lens, he reveals the atmosphere of uncertainty and the general sentiment within Germany leading up to the war, hinting at the nuanced perspectives that shaped public opinion and political decisions at the time.
