Did Emanuel Lasker write a book declaring that Germany had to win World War I if civilization were to be saved?

score:31

It's likely not a book per se, but a brochure, of which he published several during the war.

The most likely candidate would be the pamphlet "Die Selbsttäuschung unserer Feinde", Berlin, 1916. (On the self delusions of our enemies)

Sadly, the Emanuel Lasker Gesellschaft should have this, but their site is currently "under construction".

Secondary mentions are in some books.

Nota bene he was by far not unique among German intellectuals to pit (German) culture against (Western) civilization. More about this in Making Sense of the War (Germany).

That pamphlet seems to be quite rare now. If you are really dedicated to read the original, a few libraries still have it.
