Excerpt from The German Enigma: Being an Inquiry Among Germans, as to What They Think, What They Want, What, They Can Do
Monsieur Bourdon has, therefore, chosen the bolder course, which happens also to be the wiser course. He has broken down the barrier of fear and distrust. He has taken the first step. He has gone to the Germans in a Spirit of frankness and conciliation. He has tried to get at their thoughts and after-thoughts. He has cross-examined the German people, and he has cross-examined them with consummate tact and skill. An unofficial ambassador of peace, he has revealed all the qualities of a diplomat, and he has added qualities which the diplomat does not often possess, outspokenness and uprightness, a loyal regard for truth, and that moral preoccupation and that delicate sense of international honour which are generally alien to the Official diplomatic mind.
