Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book exposes the atrocities the French perpetrated during the Franco-Prussian war, defying their solemn pledges to uphold the Geneva Convention and basic standards of decency. Drawing from first-hand accounts, this historical exposà chronicles a litany of brutalities ranging from the abuse and murder of German prisoners to the plundering and pillaging of civilians and the use of illegal explosive weapons.
