This book offers the first English-language translation of the finest soldiers memoir to emerge from the Franco-Prussian War, titled With my Rucksack: The Unvarnished Campaign Memoirs of an Infantryman from the Year 1870 by Carl Rckert.

He was gravely wounded in the wars decisive battle at Gravelotte, where he was among the first Europeans to face the horrors of breech-loading rifles, machine guns, and accurate artillery. Accompanied by an insightful translators introduction and a wealth of footnotes, this book is an invaluable link to the everyday realities of the Franco-Prussian War.
