Summary "My Year of the War" by Frederick Palmer is a historical account written during the early 20th century, likely around the time of World War I. This work reflects the experiences and observations of the author, who served as an accredited American correspondent at the British front. The book delves into the early days of the war, portraying the intense emotions, struggles, and valiant efforts of soldiers and civilians caught in the conflict, particularly focusing on Belgium and the British military responses. The opening of "My Year of the War" sets a dramatic stage as Palmer recounts his imminent journey into the heart of the conflict following the outbreak of war in Europe. He captures the palpable tension and uncertainty of the moment, detailing his arrival in England just after the war was declared, and his subsequent trek to Belgium, where he observes Belgian troops amidst the chaos of invasion. Palmer introduces various characters, including soldiers and civilians, as they grapple with the harsh realities of war. The narrative vividly illustrates the bravery of the Belgian army and the overarching dread of the approaching German forces, establishing a poignant backdrop for his subsequent encounters with both the frontline troops and the civilian population.
