The Land of Deepening Shadow: Germany-at-War by D. Thomas Curtin

The Land of Deepening Shadow: Germany-at-War by D. Thomas Curtin is a firsthand account of Germany during World War I. The book likely follows Curtin's experiences arriving in Rotterdam in November of 1915 and spending nearly a month in the Netherlands before presumably entering Germany.

Based on the title and description, the book likely explores the social, political, and emotional transformations of Germany as the war rages on. "Deepening Shadow" suggests a descent into darkness, possibly reflecting the growing hardship, disillusionment, and brutality as the war continues.

Here are some potential aspects of Germany during WWI that the book might cover:

• Food shortages and rationing
• Propaganda and censorship
• Anti-war sentiment and dissent
• The impact of the war on civilians
• The glorification of military sacrifice
