Although Biographer d'Ydewalle writes much of military successes and pre-War diplomacy, tells many an anecdote of highly-placed Germans who admitted their humiliation at the invasion of Belgium, his chapters on the War years are strangely naive and repetitious. Determined to establish Germany's guilt, he seems to lose sight of his king in his search for a code of ethics in modern warfare. But in a brilliant chapter on the King and his reign, Biographer d'Ydewalle characterizes the daily routine of royalty in terms that are enlightening. Plagued by intriguing politicians, the highest...
