''Through The Iron Bars: Two Years Of German Occupation In Belgium'' is a historical account written by Emile Cammaerts, detailing his experiences during the German occupation of Belgium during World War I. Cammaerts was a Belgian citizen who was arrested by the Germans in 1915 and spent two years in captivity. The book provides a first-hand account of life in a German prison camp, including the physical and emotional toll it took on the prisoners. Cammaerts describes the harsh conditions, including the lack of food and medical care, as well as the psychological torment of being separated from loved ones and living in constant fear of punishment.Despite the difficult circumstances, Cammaerts maintains a hopeful and optimistic tone throughout the book, emphasizing the resilience and strength of the Belgian people in the face of adversity. He also provides a detailed analysis of the political and social climate of Belgium during the war, shedding light on the larger context of the occupation.Overall, ''Through The Iron Bars'' is a powerful and moving account of one man’s experience during a tumultuous period in European history, offering valuable insights into the human cost of war and occupation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
