"Boche and Bolshevik" by Hereward T. Price is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book recounts the author's personal experiences as an Englishman in the German army and later as a prisoner in Russia during World War I. It explores themes of wartime propaganda, the contrasting national sentiments of the time, and the realities of military life, providing a unique perspective on the experiences of ordinary soldiers. At the start of the narrative, the author reflects on the mood in Germany at the onset of the war, contrasting the excitement and zeal of the German populace with his own sense of foreboding. He recounts his departure from Bonn, where he had been teaching, just before the declaration of war, highlighting a moment of innocence amidst growing tensions. Price observes the German government's manipulation of public opinion and the influence of propaganda, painting a vivid picture of the atmosphere leading up to the conflict as it unfolded in Germany. His initial reflections set the stage for a broader discussion on the impact of war on society, laying the groundwork for his subsequent experiences in both the German military and the harsh conditions of captivity in Russia.
