The book aims to challenge the prevalent narrative that blamed the German government solely for the outbreak of World War I. Nock argues that responsibility was shared among multiple nations, primarily the major powers allied against Germany, and critiques the consequences of the Treaty of Versailles that was based on this assumption of singular guilt. The beginning of the book presents Nock's central thesis, asserting that the German government's share of guilt in the war is minimal compared to that of other nations. He emphasizes the impact of the Versailles Treaty, which he claims is indefensible because it rests on the flawed notion of Germany’s sole responsibility for the conflict. Nock outlines how this misattribution of blame has led to ongoing political and economic instability in Europe, adversely affecting global commerce and the relationship between the United States and Europe. He intends for the book to introduce readers to evidence of diplomatic failures and biases that have shaped modern perceptions of the war and its aftermath.
