What I Saw in America is a classic American travelogue by the great English writer, GK Chesterton. It contains this passage:'A question is current in our looser English journalism touching what should be done with the German Emperor after a victory of the Allies. Our more feminine advisers incline to the view that he should be shot. This is to make a mistake about the very nature of hereditary monarchy. Assuredly the Emperor William at his worst would be entitled to say to his amiable Crown Prince what Charles II. said when his brother warned him of the plots of assassins: 'They will never kill me to make you king.' Others, of greater monstrosity of mind, have suggested that he should be sent to St. Helena. So far as an estimate of his historical importance goes, he might as well be sent to Mount Calvary.'

The answer is that I know just enough to know one thing: that a history from the standpoint of a member of the public has not been written. What we call the ...
