By Graf von Helmuth MoltkeLength14h 39m
About this audiobook
The memoirs of the Franco-German war of 1870-1871 by Field Marshal von Moltke give the objective account of the events from the participant's point of view. The book was written in 1887 and is based on the notes and diaries of the author, created during the war. But, it is known, the author refused to create memoirs telling he preferred his memories be buried with him. Yet, after changing his mind, he created a full and detailed opus, reflecting all the main and secondary battles of the war, chief events, peace talkings, and the outcomes.
