The Crimes of England

The Crimes of England

Description of the book

This was published after the First World War had started, and Chesterton tried to see what mistakes led to this conflagration. Rather than seeing the typical historical causes like the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the desire of Austria to punish the Serbs, and the tremendous military and naval buildup by the Germans, he notices a weakness in his country of basically having the wrong friends.
