| Summary | "And the Kaiser Abdicates: The German Revolution November 1918-August 1919" by S. Miles Bouton is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the political upheaval that led to the abdication of the German Emperor and the subsequent establishment of a republic in the aftermath of World War I. It delves into the social and political conditions that made the revolution possible, providing insights into both the historical context and the key players involved. The opening of the book sets the stage for understanding the complexities of the German state before its collapse. It highlights the lack of familiarity with revolutions in Germany and the prevailing belief in the strength of its governmental structure, which ultimately proved to be fragile. The author recounts how underlying societal dissatisfaction, exacerbated by the horrors of war and starvation due to blockades, created fertile ground for revolutionary sentiments to flourish. Through personal reflections and an examination of Germany's governmental framework, Bouton establishes a narrative that underscores the inevitability of the revolutionary change that followed.
