About This Book
The author gathers eyewitness reports, letters, and contemporary commentaries to show examples of humane conduct by Germans during the war, contrasting isolated abuses with many accounts of considerate treatment of military and civilian prisoners, adequate camp conditions, and efforts at reconciliation. Separate chapters examine prisoners of war, civilian internees, historical precedents, instances of reciprocal kindness, and reflections on German character and the prospects for postwar fellowship. The work emphasizes careful documentation over rhetoric and urges recognition of shared humanity as a basis for a durable peace.
