An Englishman recounts his experiences living in Germany at the outbreak of war, tracing the rise of militaristic fervour, state-crafted propaganda, and hostile treatment of foreigners. He narrates service in the German army, the conditions of combat and capture, and the hardships of imprisonment and Siberian exile, while describing techniques of camouflage and psychological manipulation. Interspersed are observations on human behaviour under extreme stress and a concise critique of Bolshevik governance and revolutionary dictatorship. The account blends personal memoir, eyewitness reportage, and political analysis.
The present book reprints a series of articles which appeared in the China Illustrated Weekly from November, 1918, to February, 1919. This accounts for certain allusions, which I have not altered, as they are unimportant and fill no large space in the narrative. My thanks are due to H. G. Woodhead, Esq., the Editor of the China Illustrated Weekly, for the help he has given me in publishing these articles.
