More about the book

Focusing on German soldier newspapers from the First World War, this study explores how these publications reflected the daily life and beliefs of frontline soldiers. Read by millions, they illustrated a strong sense of comradeship and duty, portraying the war as a noble effort to civilize perceived backward populations. The analysis also compares these German perspectives with those from French, British, Australian, and Canadian newspapers, providing a broader understanding of the combatants' views on both sides of the conflict.
