Synopsis
Excerpt from The Schleswig-Holstein War, Vol. 1 of 2 The letters of which these volumes are mainly composed were written, all of them, on the spur of the moment, many of them under circumstances of extreme haste and difficulty. In revising them, however, I have thought it best to leave them much as I originally wrote them, omitting only such portions as had, if any, solely a passing interest. I trust that these pages, faulty as they are in many ways, will be found to represent fairly the momentous struggle which it was my lot to witness. I know that there is much in these letters with which both Danes and Germans will disagree. I can only say that I sought to write the truth, as I saw it.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a firsthand account of the Schleswig-Holstein War, a conflict that pitted Denmark against Prussia and Austria in 1864.

The author examines the historical roots of the dispute, exploring the centuries-old relationship between Schleswig and Holstein and their respective ties to Denmark and Germany.
