Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the life story of Johann Kalb, a German soldier who found fame fighting in the French army during the latter half of the 18th century. Born the son of a peasant, Kalb rose through the ranks to become a major in a foreign regiment of the French infantry. The author highlights Kalb's military exploits and his involvement in political matters. He served in various campaigns of the Seven Years' War, distinguishing himself as a brave and competent officer. Despite being a German, Kalb remained loyal to France, even when his country fought against it. He was involved in planning a French invasion of England, and later assisted in securing American support for the French cause in the American Revolution. The author also explores Kalb's motivations for serving in the French army, as well as the broader historical context of the era. He discusses the political and social conditions that led many Germans to seek military service abroad, and the impact of the Seven Years' War on the European balance of power.
