Dinant Les rives sanglantes

Only available in French

This book retraces in detail the martyrdom suffered by the city of Dinant in August 1914. How can we understand the drama that was played out at the time and overcome it? The authors contribute to this by a detailed analysis of the mechanisms at work and by placing them in a broader context, from the outbreak of the war to the commemorations and places of memory in Dinant. The First World War and its extreme violence against civilians was a disaster that must continue to worry us and call us to vigilance.
