Project Gutenberg 2004-05-01 Public domain in the USA. 192 Curtin, D. Thomas (Daniel Thomas) 1886 1963 Curtin, Daniel Thomas The Land of Deepening Shadow: Germany-at-War Produced by Al Haines "The Land of Deepening Shadow: Germany-at-War" by D. Thomas Curtin is a historical account written during the early 20th century. This book presents a vivid portrayal of Germany during World War I, focusing on the societal and political dynamics that unfolded within the country at war. Through the eyes of the author, the narrative explores how German citizens coped with the realities of war, the propaganda that influenced public opinion, and the broader implications of these experiences on both individuals and society. The opening of the book captures the author's trepidation as he returns to Germany after several months of absence. Abruptly transitioning from a familiar landscape in Holland to a starkly oppressive German setting, he vividly describes the scrutiny and control exercised by German officials at customs. The narrative develops as he observes the industriousness and determination of the German populace amidst the war, juxtaposing their spirit with the harsh realities at home. This clash of personal experience with the broader societal context sets a tone for the rest of the work, suggesting a deeper investigation into the psychological and cultural changes instigated by the war. The reader is introduced to the complexity of German life during this period, providing a framework for exploring themes such as nationalism, propaganda, and the human cost of conflict throughout the book.
