"Matthew Stibbe, a lecturer in history at Liverpool Hope University College, has produced a scholarly yet accessible account of German attitudes toward Britain during World War I. The lineament of xenophobia are skillfully dissected, with valuable attention to Anglophobia in poetry, prose, and cartoon...Stibbe is to be congrantulated on a major contribution to the professional literature that should also interest general readers." History Review of New Books

"Stdies of WW1 German propaganda often focus on Russophobia and territorial ambitions in eastern Europe. Stibbe argues that his examination of the development and dissemination of German Anglophobia during the Great War necessitates a reorientation of this historiography.... Of particular interest are Stibbe's assertion[s] that there was a significant linkage between Anglophobic grous and anti-semitic ideology (although this point is not always clear), and his investigation of the relationship between the Anglophobes and the "stab in the back" ideology to the development of the Nazi movement."
