The Lie Of August 3, 1914 (1917) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781120766151)

The Lie of August 3, 1914 is a historical book written by Rene Puaux in 1917. The book focuses on the events leading up to World War I, specifically the day before the war began. Puaux argues that the official story of the war's start, that Germany was solely responsible for the conflict, was a lie. Instead, he presents evidence that suggests that France, Russia, and Britain also played a role in the outbreak of the war. Puaux's book is divided into three parts. The first part provides a detailed account of the events of August 3, 1914, including the diplomatic exchanges between the major powers and the mobilization of their armies. The second part examines the political and economic factors that contributed to the war, such as the arms race and the competition for resources. The final part of the book offers a critique of the official narrative of the war's start and argues that the truth has been obscured by propaganda and political agendas. Overall, The Lie of August 3, 1914 is a thought-provoking and well-researched book that challenges the conventional wisdom about the origins of World War I. Puaux's arguments are supported by extensive evidence and provide a valuable perspective on one of the most significant events of the 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.
