German Atrocities: An Official Investigation (1916) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781436857826)

German Atrocities: An Official Investigation (1916) by John Hartman Morgan is a historical account of the atrocities committed by German forces during World War I. The book is based on an official investigation conducted by the British government into the actions of the German military in Belgium and France between 1914 and 1915. The investigation was prompted by reports of widespread atrocities, including the killing of civilians, the destruction of property, and the use of chemical weapons. Morgan's book provides a detailed and comprehensive account of the investigation, including interviews with witnesses and survivors, as well as official reports and documents. The book is divided into chapters that cover different aspects of the investigation, such as the treatment of civilians, the use of gas warfare, and the destruction of cultural heritage sites. Throughout the book, Morgan presents a damning indictment of the German military, describing their actions as ""barbaric"" and ""inhuman."" He also highlights the role of German propaganda in justifying these atrocities, arguing that it was used to dehumanize the enemy and to create a sense of superiority among German troops. German Atrocities: An Official Investigation is an important historical document that sheds light on a dark chapter in the history of World War I. It provides a sobering reminder of the human cost of war and the dangers of propaganda and dehumanization.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
