Publisher's Synopsis
""The Growth Of A Legend"" by Fernand Van Langenhove is a detailed study based on German accounts of the Francs-Tireurs and atrocities in Belgium during World War I. The book delves into the myths and legends that emerged from the German propaganda machine, which portrayed the Belgian resistance fighters as savage and brutal terrorists. The author examines the historical context and the events that led to the creation of these myths, as well as the impact they had on the war and the subsequent peace negotiations. The book is a comprehensive analysis of the power of propaganda and the ways in which it can shape public opinion and perceptions of historical events. It is an essential read for anyone interested in the history of World War I and the role of propaganda in shaping the narrative of war.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
