About this book

Britain's Case Against Germany: A Letter to a Neutral is a 1914 wartime pamphlet by Henry Melvill Gwatkin (1844-1916), the English ecclesiastical historian and Dixie Professor of Ecclesiastical History at Cambridge. Written in the first months of the First World War and addressed to readers in neutral countries, the letter sets out the British view of the German invasion of Belgium, the violation of treaty obligations, and the moral case for British entry into the war. Gwatkin draws on his training as a historian of the early Church and his long Cambridge teaching to argue the case in plain terms for an educated lay reader. The pamphlet stands alongside similar appeals by Gilbert Murray and other British academics in the propaganda effort of 1914 and 1915.
