Excerpt from The Road to Liege: The Path of Crime, August 1914 On the 7th of August, 1914, upon receiving news of the excesses which the Germans had committed from the time of their entrance into Belgium, the Belgian Government instituted an official Commission, whose duty it was to collect, collate, and examine, with the greatest impartiality and attentiveness, all such facts as came to its knowledge and appeared to be violations of the Law of Nations or of the laws and usages of war. This Commission, composed of discreet and able men, whose reputation alone constituted a guarantee of the highest value, has since its appointment sat in Antwerp and Havre, and in London, where a delegation, presided over by Sir Mackenzie Chalmers, was appointed to collect and consider the depositions of numerous witnesses who were refugees in England. In Brussels the President of the Commission was M. Van Iseghen, President of the Court of Cassation; in Antwerp and Havre, M. Cooreman, Minister of State and sometime President of the Chamber of Representatives. The results of this conscientious inquiry are contained in twenty-two Reports, which have been published in several languages. No definite denial, based upon proofs, has hitherto been made to diminish their significance. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Is it true that the German army, invading Belgium and France in August 1914, perpetrated brutal atrocities? Or are accounts of the deaths of thousands of unarmed civilians mere fabrications constructed by fanatically anti-German Allied propagandists? Based on research in the archives of Belgium, Britain, France, Germany, and Italy, this pathbreaking book uncovers the truth of the events of autumn 1914 and explains how the politics of propaganda and memory have shaped radically different versions of that truth. John Horne and Alan Kramer mine military reports, official and private records, witness evidence, and war diaries to document the crimes that scholars have long denied: a campaign of brutality that led to the deaths of some 6500 Belgian and French civilians. Contemporary German accounts insisted that the civilians were guerrillas, executed for illegal resistance. In reality this claim originated in a vast collective delusion on the part of German soldiers. The authors establish how this myth originated and operated, and how opposed Allied and German views of events were used in the propaganda war. They trace the memory and forgetting of the atrocities on both sides up to and beyond World War II. Meticulously researched and convincingly argued, this book reopens a painful chapter in European history while contributing to broader debates about myth, propaganda, memory, war crimes, and the nature of the First World War.
