This book tells the story of a man, Florimond Cleirens, a Belgian citizen of Malines, as he experiences the outbreak of the First World War and its devastating impact on his city and country. The author writes with simple and direct prose, offering a personal account of the fear, uncertainty, and hardship faced by ordinary Belgians caught in the crossfire of a conflict that ripped through their lives. We witness Cleirens's initial optimism as his country rises to defend its neutrality, and his growing horror as the reality of German invasion sets in. The narrative traces his harrowing journey from Malines as he flees the relentless bombardments and witnesses the destruction of his home and the misery of his fellow citizens. The book offers a unique perspective on the war, focusing on the experiences of non-combatants caught in the whirlwind of events, highlighting the human cost of conflict and the profound impact of war on a civilian population. Cleirens's tale vividly depicts the chaos, destruction, and loss experienced by thousands of Belgians during the war, providing a moving testament to their resilience and suffering. This poignant personal account offers a powerful reminder of the human consequences of war, underscoring the need for peace and understanding.
