| Summary | "Facing the German Foe" by Colonel James Fiske is a historical adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds against the backdrop of the looming threat of World War I, focusing on two young Boy Scouts, Harry Fleming and Dick Mercer, as they navigate the exciting and perilous environment leading up to the war. The novel addresses themes of loyalty, bravery, and the stark realities of war, intertwining the lives of the characters with the escalating tensions in Europe. The opening of the narrative introduces Harry Fleming and Dick Mercer, two Boy Scouts who find themselves in England during a tumultuous time as rumors of war escalate. As they discuss the possibility of conflict with their scoutmaster, John Grenfel, they express concerns about the potential for global warfare, particularly with German ambitions. The boys are drawn into the unfolding situation when newscasters announce that Germany threatens Russia, signaling imminent conflict. The narrative sets a tone of camaraderie and youthful innocence contrasted with the weight of impending disaster, as both boys contemplate their roles and responsibilities in the face of a world on the brink of war.
