Excerpt from My Mission to London 1912-1914
And now comes evidence, which in normal times would convince even the German nation, that the whole basis of their belief was a structure of deliberate falsehood; which shows that it was the Kaiser and his Ministers who plotted the war; while it was England, and especially Sir Edward Grey, who strove hardest for the preservation of peace.

I read this partly for background on WW1 partly because I have lived in Germany. At first glance it looks slightly dated. Once you start reading it is riveting.
Basically it is an insider's view from the German side of the events leading up to the outbreak of the war, which exposes it as a needless folly by a German establishment without judgement or moral integrity who gave a blank cheque to an Austro-Hungarian regime bent on domination of the Balkans.
They thought they were planning the third Balkan War. They were stumbling into disaster.
Who needs Dan Brown, when the truth is even stranger.
