Description: Berlin, Ullstein-Verlag, 1921. orig.wrappers. 24x15cm, 91 pp. Rubbed. Cover spotted and stained. Just Good ¶ ["Lady Norah Bentinck, a niece by marriage of Count Godard Bentinck, stayed at Amerongen last year, saw the ex-Kaiser, and conversed with his aide-de-camp, Captain von Esemann, who married Count Godard's daughter. She reports that the author of the war is still unable to under- stand the full meaning of his crime, and does not know why he is the object of universal detestation. It appears that Count Godard Bentinck did not know the ex-Kaiser, and did not invite him to Amerongen, but was requested by the Dutch Foreign Office to receive the unwelcome guest, if only for a few days. The authoress apparently does not know why this invidious duty was thrust upon her relative, but she suggests that the house, being remote from towns and surrounded by a double moat, was easy to guard...." - The Spectator, 30 September 1921] [ "The publication of Lady Norah Bentinck's articles on the Hohenzollerns in exile has aroused a storm of indignation on the part of the ex-Kaiser and the entire Hohenzollern interest, as well as his former host, Count Bentinck, at whose castle the events described took place...." - The New York Tijmes, January 13, 1921].
