About This Book

A collection of polemical essays and speeches condemns the German emperor and alleged wartime schemes, presenting accusations of secret propaganda, cultural corruption, and brutality. The pieces pair graphic reports of suffering in occupied regions with celebratory sketches of Allied courage and leadership, and they recount individual scenes of soldiers, refugees, and civic remembrance. Several chapters address attitudes and duties at home, urging vigilance against espionage and disloyalty, praising secret-service efforts, and calling for national unity, moral self-examination, and active public service in response to the crisis.
