| Summary | "My Mission to London, 1912-1914" by Fürst von Karl Max Lichnowsky is a historical account written during the early 20th century. The book provides an insider's perspective on diplomatic relations before World War I, particularly focusing on Lichnowsky's experiences as the German Ambassador in London. The author reflects on the complexities of international diplomacy during a tense period leading up to the war, examining the political dynamics between Germany and England and the missed opportunities for peace. In this memoir, Lichnowsky recounts events and interactions with key figures such as Sir Edward Grey and Prime Minister Asquith. He details his attempts to navigate the delicate political landscape marked by rising tensions and alliances. Lichnowsky highlights the many efforts made to foster a better understanding between Germany and England, including negotiations over colonial treaties and mediation attempts during the Serbian crisis. However, despite his earnest efforts and optimism for a peaceful resolution, he ultimately presides over the collapse of these diplomatic endeavors as political decisions in Berlin veer towards war, leading to his disillusionment with the militaristic policies that dominated German foreign affairs.
