Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book meticulously examines an array of German-born legends that emerged during the early days of the First World War. The stories, popularized in the German press, paint Belgian civilians, and in particular, the clergy, as perpetrators of vile acts of violence against German soldiers, including mutilation, torture, and murder. These tales of a so-called Belgian "franc-tireur war" were, the author argues, entirely fabricated and form part of a deliberate propaganda campaign intended to justify the German invasion and generate domestic support for the war effort. Analyzing the genesis of these stories, their distribution across society, their influence on the conduct of the war, and their long-lasting legacy, the author reveals a dark chapter in propaganda history that had far-reaching consequences.
