""Speaking of Prussians"" is a satirical book written by Irvin Shrewsbury Cobb in 1917. The book is a collection of humorous essays that poke fun at the Prussian culture and the German military during World War I. Cobb uses his wit and sarcasm to criticize the Prussian militarism, their obsession with order and discipline, and their lack of humor and imagination. He also mocks the German propaganda machine, their censorship of the press, and their arrogance and aggression towards other nations. The book is a reflection of the anti-German sentiment that prevailed in America during the war and is a testimony to Cobb's talent as a humorist and a social commentator. Overall, ""Speaking of Prussians"" is an entertaining and insightful read for anyone interested in the history of World War I and the cultural clashes that preceded it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
