Excerpt from Rossel's Posthumous Papers
From this, and from similar passages, it is evident that when he joined the Com mune, it was with the hope that his services would be employed, not against his own countrymen, but against the foes of his country. He reckoned upon the neutrality, if not upon the indirect assistance, of the Versailles Government, and was led away by a patriotic enthusiasm, which is one of the distinguishing features of his character, to believe that the Commune would form the nucleus of a national resistance.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This collection of writings found after his death, offers a profound insight into the mind of a revolutionary figure in French history: Thà ophile-Armand Rossel. Forced into a position to defend the indefensible, we witness his disillusionment with the French military. This book carefully pieces together the writings and correspondence of Rossel to present the struggle he faced with his duty as a soldier versus the truths he witnessed. The author brilliantly places Rossel within the chaos of the Franco -Prussian war, highlighting his fervent patriotism and his struggle to reconcile his duty to his country and his own moral code. Rossel's humanity and intelligence shines throughout as he writes with clarity and honesty about military ineptitude and political opportunism. His analysis of the defense of Metz and the war as a whole not only provides a unique perspective on the conflict but also an understanding of the man himself. Framed by an insightful introduction, this book provides a fresh look at the life and work of Rossel and an important primary source for the Franco -Prussian war.
