Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an impassioned plea on behalf of the people of Denmark, written in response to the outbreak of the Second Schleswig War in 1864. At this time, Denmark was allied with Austria and Prussia against a confederation of German states. The author, an ardent supporter of the Danish cause, decries the aggression of Prussia and Austria, accusing them of treachery and hypocrisy. The book provides a vivid account of the war, focusing on the experiences of the Danish soldiers and civilians who fought and suffered during the conflict. The author also discusses the broader political and diplomatic context of the war, arguing that it was a deliberate attempt by Prussia and Austria to weaken and dismember Denmark. Ultimately, this book is a powerful indictment of the forces of aggression and oppression. It is a moving tribute to the courage and resilience of the Danish people, and a passionate call for justice and peace.
