What Germany Thinks; Or, The War as Germans see it

"What Germany Thinks; Or, The War as Germans See It" by Thomas F. A. Smith is a historical exploration into the minds of the German people during World War I, revealing their beliefs about why the war started and what it all meant. The book examines the different opinions held by Germans from all walks of life, looking at who they blamed for the conflict and how they viewed the events as they unfolded. Smith paints a picture of a nation that believed it understood the stakes of the war, and he digs into the mix of patriotic excitement and opposition to the war that existed at the time, using newspapers and other sources to show the Social Democrats' rallies against the war. The book invites you to examine Germany's role in the war through its population and views within.
