German Atrocities, 1914: A History of Denial

By Alan Kramer and John Horne

Book Overview

Were thousands of unarmed Belgian civilians slaughtered by invading German troops in August, 1914, or are accounts of these deaths mere fabrications constructed by fanatically anti-German Allied propagandists? This pathbreaking book, based on meticulous research, uncovers the truth of the disputed atrocities and explains how the politics of propaganda and memory have shaped radically different versions of that truth. "Horne and Kramer argue their points impeccably and, I think, irrefutably."-Istvan Deak, New Republic
