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. 606 $aPropaganda, German$zGermany$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aPublic opinion$zGermany$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aTotal war 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$xPropaganda 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$zGermany$xPropaganda 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$zGermany 606 $aEuropean history$2BIC 607 $aGermany$xPolitics and government$y1888-1918 615 0$aPropaganda, German$xHistory 615 0$aPublic opinion$xHistory 615 0$aTotal war. 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918$xPropaganda. 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918$xPropaganda. 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918 615 7$aEuropean history. 676 $a940.4/88743 700 $aWelch$b David$f1950-$032789 701 $aWelch$b David$f1950-$032789 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910816310303321 996 $aGermany and propaganda in World War I$94017999 997 $aUNINA
