and disseminating unfiltered information across the occupied country. At the start of this volume, the author introduces the context of Belgium under German control, contrasting the oppressive atmosphere generated by the occupiers with the ingenuity and determination of the Belgian population. Massart shares his personal experiences with the underground press, establishing his credibility as a participant in this resistance effort. He elaborates on the transition from official censorship to the emergence of a vibrant, albeit dangerous, clandestine media landscape, which included smuggling newspapers and carefully crafted bulletins that countered German propaganda and maintained the spirit of the Belgian people during their struggles. In doing so, Massart highlights the interaction between the occupiers' attempts at controlling information and the Belgian people's resourceful responses, laying a foundation for the deeper exploration of resistance literature that follows in the text.
