War Land on the Eastern Front is a study of a hidden legacy of
World War I: the experience of German soldiers on the Eastern front
and the long-term effects of their encounter with Eastern Europe.
It presents an 'anatomy of an occupation', charting the ambitions
and realities of the new German military state there. Using
hitherto neglected sources from both occupiers and occupied,
official documents, propaganda, memoirs, and novels, it reveals how
German views of the East changed during total war. New categories
for viewing the East took root along with the idea of a German
cultural mission in these supposed wastelands. After Germany's
defeat, the Eastern front's 'lessons' were taken up by the Nazis,
radicalized, and enacted when German armies returned to the East in
World War II. Vejas Gabriel Liulevicius's persuasive and compelling
study fills a yawning gap in the literature of the Great War.
