by Henry Von Blumenthal (Author)
Ten members of the small aristocratic von Blumenthal family fought as officers on the field of Gravelotte. Remarkably, all ten survived. Because they fought in every part of the field, it is possible to view the whole battle through family eyes. This book is thus a personal take on the pivotal battle of the Franco-Prussian War of 1870.
