Image description

The fervent German nationalist Count Paul von Hoensbroech launches a fierce attack on the ‘predator’ England in this pamphlet, written just after the war. He describes how the English have waded ‘knee-deep through human blood’ to win and keep their empire and quotes a number of English critics of imperialism, including George Bernard Shaw. The striking cover image shows England as a monstrous giant squid, lying on a bed of money and choking the globe with its twisting tentacles.
