This work is an account of Germany's several blunders and crimes during World War I. It was written with a goal to present Germany to every American for the "bloody military dragon" it really was. This annotated record of the blunders of Germany will afford a clear insight into the situation of the world and the Teutonic frame of temper during that period. It also aimed to serve a good purpose when prosecuting Germany and her allies for punishment. The book details Germany's blunders, such as The Great Blunder of Germany and her Kaiser in starting the War, Germany's ruthless devotion to self-interest, the blunder of worldwide treachery, Blundering Estimates of National Ideals, and more. It documents Germany's crimes such as The Murder of Civilians, Killing of Prisoners and Wounded Men by Germans, the Bombing of Civilians in London and Elsewhere, and more. The author, William T. Hornaday, also writes about the punishment of Germany and asks the Americans not to have any sympathy for Germany.
