Step into the harrowing world of World War I through the eyes of a remarkable war correspondent, as she recounts the fall of Antwerp to German forces during the early months of the conflict. This compelling narrative is filled with striking imagery and an immediate sense of urgency. While it occasionally stumbles into overly sentimental territory and fierce anti-German rhetoric, her account stands as a bold and passionate testament to the tragic events and the ordinary heroes who emerged from them. As a fortysomething journalist adorned in sable furs and speaking French with a distinct Australian accent, she evokes both amusement and admiration from those around her. Yet, it is her audacious bravery in seeking out the most dangerous vantage points that truly sets her apart. Despite being somewhat lenient towards the “little” Belgians—who themselves had a history of imperial atrocities—she candidly addresses the complexities of those she admires, acknowledging the spies among the Belgian populace and the flaws of its leaders. With startling moments and riveting details, this book captures the essence of a firsthand experience that only someone as audacious and authentic as Mack could convey, regardless of her sentimental biases. - Summary by Expatriate
