| Summary | "My Three Years in a German Prison" by Henri Béland is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book recounts the author's personal experiences and observations during his internment in Germany following the outbreak of World War I. It explores themes of war, patriotism, and the human spirit in the face of adversity. The opening of the narrative details the author's life shortly before the war begins, capturing the atmosphere of uncertainty and tension as news of the conflict between Austria and Serbia spreads. Béland describes his journey from France to Belgium as Germany's intentions to invade begin to reveal themselves, noting the reactions of various citizens along the way.
