| Summary | "Hacking Through Belgium" by Edmund Dane is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book focuses on the pivotal role Belgium played during a critical moment in European history, particularly regarding its defense against German invasion in World War I. It reflects on the bravery and sacrifices of the Belgian people as they stood up against overwhelming odds. The opening of the work establishes the atmosphere of tension and decision-making in the Belgian government as they face Germany's ultimatum for passage through their territory. The narrative follows King Albert and his ministers as they deliberate over the ultimatum, weighing their national honor against the aggressive posture of the German Empire. Ultimately, the Belgian government resolves to refuse, signifying their commitment to independence and resistance, despite the ensuing devastation. It’s a testament to patriotism and the struggle for sovereignty, highlighting the significance of Belgium's defiance in a wider context of international alliances and obligations.
