| Sumario: | The book review discusses the publication of "Feindliche Ausländer' im Deutschen Reich während des Ersten Weltkrieges" by Ringo Müller, which focuses on the treatment of enemy aliens in Germany during World War I. The author uncovers previously unknown information about coercive measures taken against foreigners, such as mandatory registration, border closures, and economic sanctions. The book also explores the role of violence and class differences in the treatment of enemy aliens. The review highlights the author's emphasis on the early weeks of the war and the shift in state priorities towards categorizing aliens based on their willingness to work for the German war economy. However, it suggests that the book could have delved deeper into the continuity between World War I and World War II.
