The Holy War Made in Germany (1915)

The Holy War Made In Germany is a book written by Christiaan Snouck Hurgronje in 1915. The book is a critical analysis of Germany's role in World War I, particularly the propaganda campaign that was used to rally support for the war effort. Hurgronje argues that Germany had effectively created a ""holy war"" by invoking religious and nationalistic sentiments in its population, and that this had led to a dangerous and irrational zealotry among the German people. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of Germany's propaganda campaign. Hurgronje examines the use of religious imagery and language in German propaganda, as well as the ways in which the German government manipulated the media to control public opinion. He also looks at the role of education in shaping German attitudes towards the war, and the ways in which the government used schools and universities to promote its message.Throughout the book, Hurgronje draws on his extensive knowledge of Islamic culture and history to provide a unique perspective on Germany's propaganda campaign. He argues that the tactics used by the German government were similar to those used by Islamic leaders in the past to mobilize their followers for war. Overall, The Holy War Made In Germany is a thought-provoking analysis of the power of propaganda and the dangers of nationalist fervor. Hurgronje's insights continue to be relevant today, as nations around the world continue to use propaganda to shape public opinion and rally support for their policies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
