Between the four words of theology and the four words of administration is the full distance of what remains to be done.
When Dr. Cornelis van Houte-a sixty-four-year-old Belgian tax lawyer and amateur photographer-set out in his black BMW X5 to document the silence of the Western Front, he believed he was performing an act of reliability of counsel for the dead. His book, The Ground Held, was a masterpiece of elegant prose and disciplined restraint, a meditation on the white stones of Thiepval and the geometry of European grief.

But history is not a lens choice, and the ground was never consulted on his arrangement.

Enter The Professor, a sociologist of memory who dismantles van Houte's work with surgical precision, exposing the colonial erasure of 350,000 African and Caribbean soldiers who fought in the same mud but were left out of the frame.
