Excerpt from How Germany Seeks to Justify Her AtrocitiesIn a pamphlet entitled German Atrocities from German evidence, I published extracts from about thirty diaries taken from prisoners of war. In these diaries the German soldiers depict themselves or their companions in arms as incendiaries, robbers and murderers who, however, in ordinary circumstances, only burn, rob and murder to order and in the course of their military duty.This pamphlet, which was published towards the beginning of January, spread through the world with great rapidity in thousands of copies, and while this was hap pening the German press maintained profound silence on the subject.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
