Lasting from 1870–1871, this was the war that made the modern German nation and set Europe on the path to World War I, and Carl Rückert offers an unrivalled worm’s eye view of the experiences of common soldiers who fought in it. A Hessian lance corporal in the German army, he was a close observer of daily hardships, class tensions, the influence of nationalism, and the terrors of combat. He was gravely wounded in the war’s decisive battle at Gravelotte, where he was among the first Europeans to face the horrors of breech-loading rifles, machine guns, and accurate artillery. Accompanied by an insightful translator’s introduction and a wealth of footnotes, this book is an invaluable link to the everyday realities of the Franco-Prussian War. | 出版日期 | Book 2019 | 关键词 | Franco-Prussian War; War Memoir; Nineteenth-century European history; War Veterans; field hospitals; Comb | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-95804-0 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-07097-7 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-95804-0 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
