| Summary | "German Barbarism: A Neutral's Indictment" by Léon Maccas is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book provides a critical analysis of Germany's wartime conduct during World War I, emphasizing the alleged atrocities committed not only against enemy combatants but also against civilians and neutral parties. Maccas argues that Germany has developed a new, brutal ideology surrounding warfare that starkly contrasts with the established laws and moral principles recognized by civilized nations. The opening of the book sets a somber tone, outlining the author's intent to document the severe cruelties committed by German forces during the war, with the implication that these actions represent a form of barbarism. It starts with a preface detailing the perspective of the author—a Greek who supports France while critiquing German actions. Maccas emphasizes that the German military philosophy is devoid of humanity and justice, suggesting that such views have led to widespread violence and violation of international law. He prepares the reader for a deeper exploration of specific incidents, including the treatment of prisoners, attacks on civilians, and the misuse of prohibited weapons throughout various chapters, establishing a framework for the detailed accusations that follow.
