Journal From Our Legation in Belgium

Delve into the firsthand experiences of an American diplomat stationed in Brussels during the onset of World War I in 1914. The book is a compilation of curated entries from his daily journal, providing a unique lens into the tumultuous atmosphere surrounding Germanys invasion of Belgium. His role as a diplomat for the then-neutral United States positioned him ideally to observe and document the decision-making processes of military and civilian leaders, the publics reaction to the escalating crisis, and the humanitarian efforts of international relief organizations grappling with a sudden surge of refugees. This recollection, brought to you by Ted Lienhart, delivers an unfiltered look at this pivotal time in global history.
