Die Ursachen Des Deutschen Zusammenbruches Im Jahre 1918. Volumes IV, V, VI, VII

The second part of the publication of the German parliamentary investigating committee to report on the causes for Germany's collapse. These volumes take up the domestic situation and supply voluminous evidence on conditions in the country and the activities of groups in the Reichstag. Here again no definite conclusion is arrived at in regard to responsibility, which means that the "stab in the back" theory has no more been proved than the theory of Germany's military collapse. The value of these volumes lies in the source material rather than in the conclusions set forth.
