From May 1915, a policy of wholesale internment and repatriation was to reduce the German population by more than half of its pre-war figure. The author of this study charts the growth of the German community in Britain before detailing the story of its destruction under the chauvinistic intolerance which gripped the country during the Great War.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“... will remain a useful reference work on the subject for some time to come.” —\u003ci\u003eThe Slavonic Review\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“... will serve as the authoritative work on the subject for decades to come.” —\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“... a sound piece of historical research which fills a definite gap in our understanding of the British home front during the Great War, not to mention the position of aliens within British society.” —\u003ci\u003eGerman History\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9780854963089\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"Berg Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":40593321623758,"sku":"9780854963089","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/7029\/7806\/products\/getimage_2524a9bf-ef61-4c1c-9e04-7e40a44591ae.jpg?v=1637786299","url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9780854963089","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
