The Kaiser I Knew: My Fourteen Years With The Kaiser (1918) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781104311957)

The Kaiser I Knew: My Fourteen Years With The Kaiser (1918) is a memoir written by Arthur Newton Davis, who served as Kaiser Wilhelm II's personal valet and close confidant for fourteen years. The book provides an intimate and revealing portrait of the Kaiser, offering insights into his personality, habits, and beliefs. Davis describes the Kaiser as a complex and contradictory figure, at once charming and imperious, cultured and boorish, deeply religious and prone to outbursts of rage. He recounts numerous anecdotes and incidents from his time in the Kaiser's service, shedding light on the inner workings of the German court and the Kaiser's relationships with his family, advisors, and foreign leaders. The book also offers a unique perspective on the events leading up to World War I, as Davis witnessed firsthand the Kaiser's growing militarism and his increasing isolation from other European powers. Overall, The Kaiser I Knew is a fascinating and invaluable historical document, providing a rare glimpse into the life and mind of one of the most controversial figures of the early 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
