| |  | | | From The Publisher
"The Kaiser's Germany is the setting in which three families - one from solid, upholstered Jewish Berlin, the others from the somnolent, agrarian Catholic south - become comically, tragically, irrevocably intertwined. "Each family," writes the author, "stood confident of being able to go on with what was theirs, while in fact they were playthings, often victims, of the now united Germany and what was brewing therein." Did the monstrous thing that followed have its foundation in families such as these? "Writing about them made me think so. Hence the title.""--BOOK JACKET.

"A book of entirely delicious quality. Two families, vastly dissimilar, the one Jewish inartistic millionaires, the other slightly decadent Catholic aristocrats, become joined in marriage. Everything is new, cool, witty, elegant, and some scenes are uproariously funny"--Evelyn Waugh
