Jeffrey Verhey's powerful study demonstrates that the myth was historically inaccurate. Although intellectuals and much of the upper class were enthusiastic, the emotions and opinions of most of the population were far more complex and contradictory. The book further examines the development of the myth in newspapers, politics and propaganda, and the propagation and appropriation of this myth after the war. His innovative analysis sheds light on German experience of the Great War and on the role of political myths in modern German political culture. 410 0$aStudies in the social and cultural history of modern warfare ;$v10. 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$zGermany 606 $aMilitarism$zGermany$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aNationalism$zGermany$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aGermany$xArmed Forces$xMobilization$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918 615 0$aMilitarism$xHistory 615 0$aNationalism$xHistory 676 $a940.3/43 700 $aVerhey$b Jeffrey$0758288 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780275503321 996 $aThe spirit of 1914$93731672 997 $aUNINA
