Munro, George C. Sellery, and August C. Krey is a historical account written during the early 20th century. The work examines the German military's treatment of civilians during World War I, focusing on the stark contrast between their wartime practices and international law. The book likely seeks to illuminate the systematic brutality and policies adopted by German forces against noncombatants, presenting a detailed narrative supported by various sources. At the start of this examination, the text introduces the context in which Germany had pledged to adhere to international conventions designed to protect civilians during war. However, the introduction reveals a deliberate deviation from these commitments, emphasizing a military philosophy that prioritized ruthless force as a means to achieve victory. As it outlines this troubling shift, it draws on historical military writings and remarks from German leaders that advocate for a policy of frightfulness and terror against enemy populations, setting the stage for a detailed discussion of the subsequent atrocities committed in occupied territories during the conflict.
