Excerpt from The Life of Baron Frederic Trenck, Vol. 3: Containing His Adventures
I seemed following the great Great Frederic to the mansions of the dead; then should I never have concluded my second volume, have written this my third, or obtained the victory by which I am now so gloriously crowned.
A variety of obstacles overcome, I found it necessary first to make a journey into Hungary, which was one of the most vivifying and pleasant of my whole life.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a first-hand account by Baron Trenck, a Prussian officer, of his imprisonment and torture at the hands of the Austrian government under Empress Maria Theresa. After fighting in the Austrian army, he aroused the ire of the government when his cousin led an insurrection against the empress in Hungary. Trenck was arrested and imprisoned, beginning a ten-year ordeal of brutal interrogation and solitary confinement that tested his mental and physical limits. The book is a harrowing and often gruesome account of the horrors of arbitrary rule and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
