About This Book

A document-based narrative compiles first-hand statements, official reports, and maps to reconstruct the treatment of the civil population during the early German invasion of Belgium. It organizes testimony and published documents along the routes taken by different army columns, presenting a chronological account of incidents, military movements, and their effects on towns and civilians, with attention to contested interpretations and evidentiary conflicts. Illustrations, maps, and appendices support chapters that trace events from the frontier through key places and culminate in the destruction at Louvain, allowing readers to assess the assembled documentary record.
