Summary "The Boy Allies at Liège; Or, Through Lines of Steel" by Clair W. Hayes is a historical novel written during the early 20th century at the onset of World War I. This adventure tale follows two American boys, Hal Paine and Chester Crawford, who find themselves in the heart of Europe as war breaks out. The narrative is set against the backdrop of the German invasion of Belgium and the subsequent turmoil, highlighting themes of bravery, camaraderie, and the impact of war on young lives. The opening of the book presents the boys in Berlin, where they overhear the news of Germany's declaration of war on France. Hal and Chester, both athletic and skilled from their experiences, assure Hal's mother of their safety, prompting a hurried plan for escape from the impending conflict. As they prepare to leave, they quickly become embroiled in a violent encounter with a group of German thugs attacking local English speakers, demonstrating their readiness to fight for the oppressed. The boys soon meet British and French officers, solidifying their involvement in the brewing war and setting the stage for their further adventures and challenges as they strive to navigate the complexities of wartime Europe.
