Excerpt from A Statement About the Destruction of Louvain and Neighborhood There have been many stories about the "German atrocities" in Belgium, and recently certain articles have appeared in the Chicago press which are of such a character that they seem to demand particular attention. Those articles come from correspondents of American papers in Germany or accompanying the German army in France and Belgium. They generally represent the treatment given by the German army to the civil population in Belgium as very kind and conclude that everywhere stories about German atrocities "vanish on inquiry." I have no desire to question the sincerity of those correspondents, but in many respects I know they are mistaken. They were always far away from the places where "atrocities" were committed. One of them was, between August 12 and August 18, in the neighborhood of Landen and of Namur, when atrocities were committed in the eastern part of Belgium; he was staying in Brussels on August 20 and the three following days, watching for the passing of the German troops through the city, when Aerschot and several villages between Louvain and Malines were sacked and destroyed; he was staying in the Belgian town of Binche when Louvain was burned; and he accompanied the German troops in France when the Belgian towns of Dinant, Andenne, and Tamines were destroyed and their inhabitants killed. In that way, one may assert that he has not seen atrocities, but it seems absolutely inconsequent to say that there were not atrocities at all. As one of those newspaper correspondents has reported the German accusations against the citizens of Louvain, and has made statements about that city which are entirely false, I think the time has come to give here my own account and to publish the truth concerning the occurrences which took place not only at Louvain but also in the villages and small towns of the neighborhood. I myself am not an eyewitness of all the facts I shall report here, but for each case I give my evidence in such a way that everyone will be able to judge of the value of the statement.

Excerpt from Some More News About the Destruction of Louvain A short time ago, as a result of false statements appearing in Chicago newspapers about Louvain and the atrocities committed in Belgium, I felt myself compelled to publish A Statement about the Destruction of Louvain and Neighborhood. I incorporated in that statement the reports of some of my colleagues, who were either victims or eyewitnesses of the outrages committed by the Germans at Louvain.

On 26 August 1914 the world-famous university library in the Belgian town of Louvain was looted and destroyed by German troops. The international community reacted in horror - 'Holocaust at Louvain' proclaimed the Daily Mail - and the behaviour of the Germans at Louvain came to be seen as the beginning of a different style of war, without the rules that had governed military conflict up to that point - a more total war, in which enemy civilians and their entire culture were now 'legitimate' targets. Yet the destruction at Louvain was simply one symbolic moment in a wider wave of cultural destruction and mass killing that swept Europe in the era of the First World War. Using a wide range of examples and eye-witness accounts from across Europe at this time, award-winning historian Alan Kramer paints a picture of an entire continent plunging into a chilling new world of mass mobilization, total warfare, and the celebration of nationalist or ethnic violence - often directed expressly at the enemy's civilian population.

"People screamed, cried, and groaned. Above the tumult I could distinguish the voices of small children. All this time the soldiers were singing.... Sometime after the first salvo, there was another round of fire and, once again, I was not hit. After this I heard fewer cries, save from time to time a small child calling its mother."?Félix Bourdon, survivor of a mass execution in Dinant, BelgiumIn August 1914, without any legitimate pretext, German soldiers killed nearly 6,000 Belgian noncombatants, including women and children, and burned some 25,000 homes and other buildings. Rehearsals is the first book to provide a detailed narrative history of the German invasion of Belgium as it affected civilians. Based on extensive eyewitness testimony, the book chronicles events in and around the towns of Liége, Aarschot, Andenne, Tamines, Dinant, and Leuven, where the worst of the German depredations occurred. Accounts of the killing, looting, and arson have long been dismissed as "atrocity propaganda," particularly in the United Kingdom and the United States. Rehearsals examines the campaign by revisionists that led to voluminous and compelling testimony about German war crimes being discredited.Recently, the case has been made that the violence that came to a peak between August 19 and August 26, 1914, was the result of a spontaneous outbreak of German paranoia about civilian sharpshooters. In Rehearsals, Jeff Lipkes offers compelling evidence that the executions were in fact part of a deliberate campaign of terrorism ordered by military authorities. In his shocking account of events that have been largely overlooked by historians of World War I, Lipkes commemorates the heroism as well as the suffering of the Belgian victims of German aggression.

Following the format of Fitzroy Dearborn's highly successful International Dictionary of Historic Places and International Dictionary of University Histories, the International Dictionary of Library Histories provides basic information for each institution - location and holdings - followed by an extensive (1,000-5,000 word) essay on its history as well as a Further Reading list. In addition, the dictionary includes introductory articles on the history of various types of libraries and a library history in various regions of the world. The dictionary profiles more than 200 institutions from around the world, including the world's most important research libraries and other libraries with globally or regionally notable collections, innovative traditions, and significant and interesting histories. The essays take advantage of the growing scholarship of library history to provide insightful overviews of each institution, including not only the traditional values of these libraries but their innovations as well, such as developments in automated systems and electronic delivery. The profiles will emphasize the unique materials of research in these institutions - archives, manuscripts, personal and institutional papers. The introductory articles on types of libraries include topics ranging from theological libraries to prison libraries, from the ancient to the digital. An international team of more than 200 leading scholars in the field have contributed essays to the project.
