Title: Love in a Time of War: Diaries and Letters from World War I.
This book is a story of World War I, told primarily in the diaries
and letters of a young Belgian woman and an American man. The
woman, Germaine Attout lived with her family throughout four years
of German occupation. The man, Francis Wickes, came to Belgium in
1915 as a member of the Commission for Relief in Belgium, led by
Herbert Hoover. He writes of this relief work and subsequently of
his service with the U.S. Army in Paris. Included are eyewitness
accounts of Belgian civilians, unarmed, resisting the occupation
and of the Belgian army, under it's great King, Albert I, defending
their country against overwhelming odds. The book contains
background material about this period of history and over 50
contemporary photos It is being published as the centennial of
World War I approaches. This is a love story too, told by Francis
as it began in the midst of war, told by Germaine as it continued
in a long married life.
