Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. Reprint. Paperback. When 18-year-old German stonemason Jakob Walter was conscripted into the Grande Armee of Napoleon, he had no idea of the trials that lay ahead. The long, gruelling marches on Prussia and Poland sacrificed countless men to Napoleon's grand designs. But it was the disastrous advance on Russia which tested human endurance on an epic scale. In Jakob Walter's gripping account of his privations during the long retreat home from Russia to Germany, we read at first-hand how he and his fellow conscripts were driven past reason by starvation and bitter cold. How men turned upon each other, killing for half a loaf of bread or tearing clothes off each other's backs in their grim fight for life. Although there are numerous accounts of the Napoleonic Wars written by officers, Walter's is a rare memoir by an infantryman from the ranks, and, as such, is a unique and fascinating document. This paperback is illustrated with engravings and maps contemporary with the manuscript. it also includes a chronology of European events and a list of place names. Illustrated. 170 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
