German Atrocities: A Record of Shameless Deeds

William Le Queux

Sinopse

In "German Atrocities: A Record of Shameless Deeds," William Le Queux presents a chilling collection of accounts detailing the alleged brutalities perpetrated by German forces during World War I. Written in a direct and unembellished style, the book serves as both a journalistic exposé and a patriotic rallying cry, reflective of the sentiments of the time. By compiling anecdotal evidence and testimonials, Le Queux crafts a narrative designed to evoke horror and indignation, situating these deeds in the broader context of wartime propaganda that sought to galvanize public opinion against Germany. His work stands as a notable example of early 20th-century literature that intertwines fact with emotive storytelling, encapsulating the fears and sentiments prevalent during the war. Le Queux, a British journalist and prolific writer, was deeply entangled in the socio-political fabric of his era, having experienced first-hand the ravages of conflict. His vocation as a writer often entwined with his fervent nationalism—a characteristic shaped by his numerous travels across Europe and his keen interest in military affairs. This background spurred his resolve to document what he perceived as war crimes, reflecting a broader trend where authors sought to influence public perception through emotionally charged narratives. This book is essential for readers interested in the intersections of war, propaganda, and literature. It offers a poignant glimpse into the psyche of a nation during one of its most tumultuous periods, challenging readers to reflect on the moral implications of war. "German Atrocities" remains a powerful reminder of the human cost of conflict and the narratives that shape our understanding of history.

Preparing for War - The...

Bradley Onishi

The insurrection at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, was not a blip or an aberration. It was the logical outcome of years of a White evangelical subculture's preparation for war. Religion scholar and former insider Bradley Onishi maps the origins of White Christian nationalism and traces its offshoots in Preparing for War. 
 
 
 
Combining his own experiences in the youth groups and prayer meetings of the 1990s with an immersive look at the steady blending of White grievance politics with evangelicalism, Onishi crafts an engrossing account of the years-long campaign of White Christian nationalism that led to January 6. How did the rise of what Onishi calls the New Religious Right, between 1960 and 2015, give birth to violent White Christian nationalism during the Trump presidency and beyond? What propelled some of the most conservative religious communities in the country—communities of which Onishi was once a part—to ignite a cold civil war? 
 
 
 
Through chapters on White supremacy and segregationist theologies, conspiracy theories, the Christian-school movement, purity culture, and the right-wing media ecosystem, Onishi pulls back the curtain on a subculture that birthed a movement and has taken a dangerous turn.
