Description
The following memoirs of Christian von Ompteda have been edited by his grandnephew, Baron Louis von Ompteda, who has made use, for that purpose, primarily of the letters and diaries of his great uncle, and the personal literary remains of the late Baron Louis, Christian's brother. It is thought that the publication of this work in English will be found to be justified by its contents, both as regards the wider historic interest of the momentous period of Ompteda's life and death, and the narrower personal interest of the forms of human character, incident, and vicissitude set forth. The hero who now lies at the gate of La Haye Sainte deserves to be remembered by English people certainly not less than by other people for whom he died..... This fascinating work is thoroughly recommended for inclusion on the bookshelf of all historians. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
