From wikipedia:

Richard Grelling (11 June 1853 - 14 January 1929 ) was a German lawyer, writer and pacifist.

Richard Grelling was born in Berlin, at that time the capital of Prussia. He studied law but after finishing his studies worked as a writer and dramatist. In 1892 he was a founder-member of the German Peace Society (German: Deutsche Friedensgesellschaft), of which he was vice-chairman. From 1903 he lived near Florence, until Italy joined the belligerents in 1915, after which he moved to Switzerland.

In 1915 he wrote the anti-war book J'Accuse, condemning the actions of the Central Powers. The book was banned in Germany but was translated into many languages and enjoyed huge sales. He followed this success up with Das Verbrechen (The Crime), in which he attacked his critics, including his son, the philosopher Kurt Grelling.

He later worked for several newspapers, among them the Frankfurter Zeitung. During the Weimar Republic most of his writings were boycotted.
