Dispatches From The Ruhr

Dispatches from the Ruhr

by Ernest Hemingway

Dispatches from the Ruhr is a collection of ten articles written by Ernest Hemingway during his time as a correspondent for the Toronto Star in 1923. The articles detail his observations of the French occupation of the Ruhr Valley, a region in Germany, in response to the country's inability to pay post-World War I reparations. Hemingway delves into the French political motivations behind the occupation, the economic hardship and hyperinflation plaguing the German population, and the growing disillusionment with the Weimar Republic that ultimately contributed to the rise of Nazism. Through a series of vivid descriptions and insightful analyses, Hemingway paints a stark picture of the region's struggles, offering a glimpse into the complex realities of post-war Germany and the devastating consequences of military occupation.
