centurion Posted 11 February , 2014 Share Posted 11 February , 2014 Does anyone know if the book by the german historian Fischer is available in english? I have a copy of a book by Frittz Fischer in English but he wrote a number of books - which one are you after? The one I have is called in German Griff nach der Weltmach. Clark in a lecture last week was very dismissive but I noted that he actually attacked the author and not the argument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Tom Posted 12 February , 2014 Author Share Posted 12 February , 2014 Thanks for that, I am interested in the one often referred to in which responsibilty for the war is attributed to Germany. Last reference I heard was on Michael Portillos radio programme yesterday. My limited memory of German lets me down 'Griff nach der Weltmach' ?

centurion Posted 12 February , 2014 Share Posted 12 February , 2014 I think it translates as The grab for the World. The English translation is more prosaically titled Germany's Aims in the First World War. You can get 2nd hand copies through Abebooks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWorrall Posted 17 February , 2014 Share Posted 17 February , 2014 Fischer wrote many books, but the most significant ones to be found in English are: Weltmacht oder niedergang: World power or decline Buendnis der Eliten: From Kaiserrech to Theird Reich - elements of continuity in German history Krieg der Illusionen: War of Illusions - German policies from 1911 to 1914 and his masterpiece - Griff nach der Weltmacht: Germany's aims in the First World War Simon.
