Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents an extract from a contemporary account written in the 18th century by Christopher Verloh, an eyewitness to the siege of the city of Münster in 1759, during the Seven Years' War. The detailed description provides a vivid account of the impact of the siege on life in Münster, where the majority of the damage was inflicted by French bombardment upon the civilian population. Verloh describes the devastation caused by artillery and incendiary devices, the destruction of houses and public buildings, the disruption of daily life and the fear and suffering experienced by the inhabitants of the city as their homes are destroyed and fellow citizens are killed or maimed. He also chronicles the relief effort organized by the Margrave of Armentieres and the subsequent lifting of the siege. The value of this account as a contemporary record of the siege is highlighted by the author's position within the city itself and his access to information unavailable to later historians.
