Book Synopsis The Reality of War by : Léonce Patry

Download or read book The Reality of War written by Léonce Patry and published by Weidenfeld & Nicolson. This book was released on 2001 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The long and sombre chronicle of the Franco-Prussian war is an episode that deserves further attention. English-speaking readers have very little sense of what the war was like for its participants. Based on his own experiences, Patry vividly describes the bloodshed and appalling atrocities committed during the army advance to retake the Paris commune. He is also deeply critical of the shortcomings and follies of the high command. An elegant translation of a compelling text, written by a man of obvious charm and honesty, and equally obvious faults, this book is a joy to read. It ranks as one of the best examples of war memoirs written in any language.
