Woman's Experiences in the Great War

'In my mind's eye, I could follow those peasants, fleeing, fleeing, ever fleeing from one village to another, from one town to another, hunted and followed by the cruel menace of War.'When the German Army invaded Belgium in 1914, Louise Mack set off to cover the war as a reporter for The Daily Mail. She soon found herself deeply embedded in the conflict and forced to make her way through Northern Europe and find a way back to safety.Along the way, she recorded the true stories of adversity faced by the civilian populations of Europe and in so doing became the world's first female war correspondent.Written with excruciating vividness and genuine emotion, Mack's account provides a unique perspective on the conflict that engulfed Europe.
