"A Straight Deal or The Ancient Grudge" is a book about the relationship between the Germans, Americans, and Britons before and after WWI. The book consists of a series of polemics aiming at making Americans less hostile toward the British before and after the U.S. entered World War I on their side. The whole idea of the work started from the author's published opinion on the American-British reaction, which developed into a burning discussion.
