Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Erstmalig liegt dem interessierten deutschsprachigen Publikum die Übersetzung der Memoiren eines jungen Schotten aus Edinburgh vor. Der Autor des Tagebuchs, der nur als Thomas bekannt ist, verpflichtete sich 1806 für sieben Jahre und war nicht von dem Gedanken motiviert, in den Kriegen gegen Frankreich und dessen Herrscher Kaiser Napoleon Ruhm zu erlangen; sein Motiv für die Anwerbung war seine verlorene Ehre und die Schande, seinen Eltern nach dem gescheiterten Versuch einer Bühnenkarriere Unrecht getan zu haben.Als gebildeter Mann schrieb sehr gut, nahm aber von der Schande seiner Taten verfolgt den Schilling des Königs vom ersten Werbesergeanten entgegen, den er traf. Ohne es zu wissen, handelte es sich bei diesem Regiment, in dem er Dienst tun sollte, um das 71st, später Highland Light Infantry, eine Einheit von großem Ruhm und Elan, das an vorderster Front der Kämpfe stand und stehen würde.Thomas sah seine Erlösung in einer Reise durch das Fegefeuer des Dienstes als einfacher Soldat in der britischen Armee. Seine Mühen würden hart und die Entbehrungen zahlreich sein, aber an sein Wort gebunden, hält er an seinem einmal getroffenen Entschluss fest. Er sollte an der unterschiedlichsten Orten im Einsatz sein: von der Expedition nach Buenos Aires, bei der er gefangen genommen wurde, bis zu den erbärmlichen Bedingungen des Rückzugs nach Coruña, dem fiebergeplagten Walcheren, Schlachten, Gefechten und Scharmützeln auf der Iberischen Halbinsel, darunter Roleia, Vimiero, Fuentes d'Oñoro, Vittoria, Bayonne und Nivelle, und schließlich der Schlacht von Waterloo. Seine Entlassung folgte kurz darauf und obwohl er wieder in seiner Heimat Schottland war, war die Armut eines ehemaligen Soldaten seine einzige Belohnung. - Eine lebendige und schonungslose Geschichte über harte Kämpfe, Entbehrungen und die Realität des Krieges der Napoleonischen Ära.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 126 pp. Deutsch.
