Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Moltke's Letters to His Wife and Other Relatives, Vol. 1 of 2
The contents of the present volumes are translated from the unabridged German edition of the Deutsche verlags-anstalt (stuttgart, Leipzig, Berlin, and Vienna, Those, therefore, who already possess the earlier and less complete German edition, will find here much that is new and at the same time not less interesting than the material with which they are already familiar. The present edition is further noteworthy, because its preparation has been followed with keen interest by several of the great strategist's own relatives, two of whom are frequently mentioned in the body of the work. They have kindly assisted the translator by correcting the few errors which had crept into the original; they have contributed several valuable illustrations, including the autograph facsimile and finally, they have assisted the editor in the compilation of the little character-study of Moltke's wife, which serves as an introduction. The copious index at the end of the work will be found to obviate the recurring necessity of footnotes, and to contain the key to all the personages and places mentioned.
