"This book is the first to offer a full account of the varied contributions of German
Jews to Imperial Germany's endeavors during the Great War. Historian Tim Grady examines
the efforts of the 100,000 Jewish soldiers who served in the German military (12,000
of whom died), as well as the various activities Jewish communities supported at home,
such as raising funds for the war effort and securing vital food supplies. However,
Grady's research goes much deeper: he shows that German Jews were never at the periphery
of Germany's warfare, but were in fact heavily involved. The author finds that many
German Jews were committed to the same brutal and destructive war that other Germans
endorsed, and he discusses how the conflict was in many ways lived by both groups
alike. What none could have foreseen was the dangerous legacy they created together,
a legacy that enabled Hitler's rise to power and planted the seeds of the Holocaust
to come"
