It focuses on the brave actions of General Leman and the Belgian soldiers as they fought hard to protect their country. The book begins by explaining how quickly the war started and how the Germans invaded Belgium. At Liège, the Belgian troops showed great toughness and smart tactics, even though they had fewer soldiers than the Germans. The book points out that these battles were important because they slowed down the German army and gave the Allies time to get ready. By using strong descriptions of battles, how citizens reacted, and reports of terrible events, it paints a powerful picture of the disorder and courage during this important time in history.
