Back From Belgium

Back from Belgium: A Secret History of Three Years Within the German Lines is a gripping account of life on the front lines of World War I. Published in 1919, this book tells the story of Jean Baptiste de Ville, a Belgian civil servant who was deported to Germany during the war and who spent three years living among the German people. De Ville's vivid and unflinching account of his experiences offers a unique perspective on the war and its aftermath, and provides a compelling portrait of a people struggling to come to terms with the devastating consequences of conflict and occupation.
