This article presents information on the book "Stresemann. The Man and the Statesman. By Baron von Rheinbaben. It is no easy task for the common people to understand a statesman who sets out on his career with great aims before him." Perhaps this sentence, culled from Baron von Rheinbaben's biography of the then German Foreign Minister is an apology for the author's obviously ineffectual and eulogistic treatment of the statesmen. His book is less a contribution to history than a piece of propaganda for a party leader.
