The book captures the many speeches made by German Emperor William II, revealing his perspectives on various national and international issues during his reign, particularly around the turn of the 20th century and the lead-up to World War I. The opening of the work introduces the context of the Emperor's public statements and sets the stage for a deeper examination of his views on governance, the military, and social issues. It provides a preface that emphasizes the Emperor's direct involvement in political discourse, contrasting him with his predecessors who relied on their chancellors. Gauss notes the vast number of speeches given by William II and maintains that his aim is to present a faithful representation of the Emperor's rhetoric. The author hints at the fluctuating relations and ideas exchanged with other nations, the Emperor's handling of internal politics regarding the Social Democratic movement, and his attempts to shape the identity of Germany through a powerful military presence and imperialist rhetoric.
