The German Empire's Hour of Destiny by Herman Frobenius. This book is a reproduction of the original book published in 1914 and may have some imperfections such as marks or hand-written notes.

Excerpt from The German Empire's Hour of Destiny The extraordinary interest for Americans of this remarkably prophetic book is heightened by the fact that "The Hour" epitomized in the familiar toast of the zealous German militarist, has come; and by the further knowledge that Col. Frobenius' prophecies are based in part upon the observations of Homer Lea, an American student of world politics. Published only a few days before the declaration of war and receiving the hearty commendation of the German Crown Prince, this book definitely forecasts the greatest war in history, as early as the spring of 1915 or 1916. Col. Frobenius with blunt soldierly directness declares that the preservation of the British World Empire requires the enfeeblement, or destruction of Germany, and that France has long been prepared for a war of revenge.
