This, despite the fact that propaganda had been regarded by the German leadership, arguably for the first time, as an intrinsic part of the war effort. In this book, David Welch fully examines German society - politics, propaganda, public opinion and total war - in the Great War. Drawing on a wide range of sources - posters, newspapers, journals, film, Parliamentary debates, police and military reports and private papers - he argues that the moral collapse of Germany was due less to the failure to disseminate propaganda than to the inability of the military authorities and the Kaiser to reinforce this propaganda, and to acknowledge the importance of public opinion in forging an effective link between leadership and the people."-- Publisher's description.Propaganda, GermanGermanyHistory20th centuryPublic opinionGermanyHistory20th centuryTotal warWorld War, 1914-1918PropagandaWorld War, 1914-1918GermanyPropagandaWorld War, 1914-1918GermanyEuropean historyBICGermanyPolitics and government1888-1918Propaganda, GermanHistoryPublic opinionHistoryTotal war.World War, 1914-1918Propaganda.World War, 1914-1918Propaganda.World War, 1914-1918European history.940.4/88743Welch David1950-32789Welch David1950-32789UtOrBLWUtOrBLWBOOK9910511670103321Germany and propaganda in World War I2549956UNINA
