The Testament of Von Bernstorff
Villard, Oswald Garrison | October 24, 1936 issue

add to cart   close window

This article focuses on the book "Memoirs of Count Bernstorff." In this volume diplomat Johann Heinrich von Bernstorff reviews his entire life. He tells of his eight years' service in the German artillery and of his extraordinarily rapid rise in the diplomatic service — he jumped from consul-general in Egypt to ambassador in Washington — and describes again his fateful years in the U.S., of which he had already written at length in his "My Three Years in America." Beyond doubt he is in a far happier position to discuss his service in Washington than he was in 1920, when he published his earlier book.
