Summary "Fighting in Flanders" by E. Alexander Powell is a historical account written during the early 20th century, specifically in the context of World War I. The book recounts Powell's experiences as a war correspondent embedded with the Belgian forces during the early stages of the conflict, following the German invasion and the defense of Belgium. The narrative promises to be an evocative portrayal of the grit and resilience of the Belgian people amidst the turmoil of war, as well as the author's personal journey and observations on the front lines. At the start of the text, Powell introduces the chaotic environment surrounding the Belgian forces, depicting the challenges faced by war correspondents eager to report on the unfolding tragedy. He emphasizes the drastic changes in Belgium, where peaceful landscapes are marred by conflict, as well as the camaraderie and determination found among the soldiers and citizens facing invasion. Powell shares anecdotes of various correspondents, including their attempts and struggles to gain access to battlefronts, highlighting characters like the adventurous photographer Donald Thompson. These opening chapters set the tone for a deeply human and personal exploration of war's impact, providing an intimate look at both the horrors and the moments of levity found amidst a devastating conflict.
