Summary "The Campaign Round Liège" by J. M. Kennedy is a historical account written during the early 20th century. The work details the events surrounding the defense of Liège during the early stages of World War I, highlighting the heroic efforts of the Belgian forces against the German invasion. Important figures in this narrative include General Leman and the soldiers of the Belgian army who fought valiantly to uphold their nation's sovereignty. The opening of the text sets the stage for the war, detailing the rapid escalation of tensions leading to the German invasion of Belgium. It describes the initial encounters at Liège, where despite being outnumbered, the Belgian troops demonstrate remarkable resilience and strategy against the German forces. The text emphasizes the importance of these encounters in delaying the German advance, allowing Allied forces to mobilize. Through vivid descriptions of battles, civilian responses, and reports of atrocities, it provides a compelling portrait of the chaos and heroism present during this critical moment in history.
