| 520 | _a"Plain Words from America: A Letter to a German Professor" by Douglas W. Johnson is a historical account written in the early 20th century during the tumultuous period of World War I. This book takes the form of an extended letter responding to a German professor's plea for understanding regarding Germany's position in the war. The main topic revolves around the complex perspective of the American public on Germany and its government, particularly in light of the war and the atrocities attributed to German military action. In the book, Johnson refutes the professor's assertions that American opinions about Germany are shaped solely by biased journalism and emotional sentiment, detailing how American perspectives are informed by a plethora of sources, including personal experiences, academic interactions, and diplomatic communications. He emphasizes the distinction between the German people and their government, explaining how admiration for German culture contrasts sharply with condemnation of its militaristic and autocratic government. Through thorough analysis, Johnson conveys a clear stance against the German government's actions during the war while expressing a desire for the German people to reclaim their societal honor through eventual reform and democratic governance.
