Diplomatic Documents relating to the Outbreak of the European War
Bibliographic Details
New York: Oxford University Press, American Branch. 1916
Book Review
A reprint in two volumes of the official English translations of the two “Red Books” issued by Austria-Hungary, the two “Gray Books” issued by Belgium, the French “Yellow Book,” the German “White Book,” the Italian “Green Book,” the two Russian “Orange Books,” the Serbian “Blue Book,” and the official text of the two British “Blue Books.” Each volume is preceded by a table of contents which lists and summarizes every paper and document printed therein, and at the end of the second volume there is an analytical index digest, which, in addition to ordinary index purposes, will be found most useful in tracing the attitudes of the several countries upon important points in the negotiations which ended in the outbreak of war. Another useful feature of the work is a list of all important personages who are mentioned in or who took part in the correspondence, showing their official positions at the time.
