Excerpt from False Witness
I remember the last hours I spent, the preceding summer, among my Belgian friends. In Louvain St. Peter still raised its mighty shining stone arches like a warrior's holy shrine. From St. Gertrude's the silver notes of the carillon sang over the town. Along the old cloister walls and gardens, hung with roses, glided the slow, grey-green waters of the Dylen. I had received a letter which I wished to forget; I stood upon the bridge, looking down to the narrow dark stream, and tore the letter to pieces and watched the frag.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book uncovers the false narrative propagated by German intellectuals during World War I. The author, a prominent Danish philosopher, meticulously deconstructs the arguments presented in the infamous 'Appeal to the Civilized World' and exposes the ways in which German scholars twisted facts to justify their country's invasion of Belgium. The book also explores the complex relationship between morality and warfare, delving into the ethical implications of violating international treaties and the use of violence against civilians. Through a close examination of primary sources, the author sheds light on the manipulation of language and the role of propaganda in shaping public opinion during wartime. The book ultimately serves as a timely reminder of the importance of truth, justice, and the preservation of human rights in the face of conflict.
