| Summary | "The German Fury in Belgium" by L. Mokveld is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The narrative provides a firsthand perspective on the atrocities committed by the German Army during their invasion of Belgium in World War I. As a neutral journalist and war correspondent, Mokveld chronicles the horrors he witnessed, emphasizing the inhuman treatment of civilians and the chaotic aftermath of military actions. The opening of the book details the author's arrival in Belgium amid the outbreak of hostilities. Mokveld describes an atmosphere thick with fear and anxiety as residents grapple with the encroaching German forces. Through vivid depictions of refugees, burnt villages, and skirmishes, he introduces the reader to the grim realities of war. His observations serve as a powerful indictment of the brutality inflicted on innocents, setting the tone for an account that seeks to illuminate the darker aspects of this tumultuous historical period.
