Excerpt from Bismarck in the Franco-German War, 1870-1871, Vol. 1 of 2 IT is almost like the recollection of a dream, when I call up before my mind the circumstances under which, more than eight years ago, I made my first and last tour through France, and ponder on all I was permitted to observe and pass through. No other tour I ever made stands out so clearly and livingly in my memory. This will be readily understood, when I say that my route led from Saarbriicken to Versailles, by way of Sedan, and that I had the honour of passing the seven months it took me to traverse it in the immediate society of the Imperial Chancellor - or, as he was then called, the Chancellor of the Confederation. My visit to France was connected with the campaign of 1870 and 1871, during which time I was attached to the mobilised Foreign Office, which accompanied the first section of the main headquarters of the German army.

Excerpt from Bismarck in the Franco-German War, 1870-1871, Vol. 2 of 2 About the middle of November I wrote home: "It is still possible that we may get back before Christmas. From expressions attributed to the King in the last few days many think it likely. For my own part I don't put much faith in it, although everything is going well, and Paris will probably be reduced to meal and horse-flesh in three or four weeks, and must accordingly 'sing small, ' especially when Hindersin's big guns begin to assist to rapid decisions a government made reasonable by starvation. I can understand how our good friend S. finds the thing slow. Certainly the war makes no account of his comfort or that of those who feel with him. Let him possess himself in patience a while longer, like our soldiers, who have to wait for the end in hunger and dirt, while he and other fine people in Berlin lie on comfortable sofas and have their cups and platters full. These omniscient critics of the bar and the tap-room, with their eternal grumbling and fault-finding, are a queer sort, ridiculous and very unsatisfactory."

Excerpt from The Franco-German War of 1870-71, Vol. 1 of 2 His purpose was to give a concise account of the war. But, while keeping this in view, he involun tarily - as was inevitable from his position - con templated the task from his own standpoint as Chief of the General Staff, and arranged events in connection with a' gen?ral scheme which could only be known at head-quarters. Thus this work, which was undertaken in all simplicity of purpose, as a popular history, isfbpractically from beginning to end the expressiofi of a private opinion of the war from the field-marshal himself.

Excerpt from The Franco-German War of 1870-71 The origin of the book was as follows. I had several times entreated him, but in vain, to make use of his leisure hours at Greisau in noting down some of his rich store of reminiscences. He always objected, in the same words: Everything official that I have had occasion to write, or that is worth remembering, is to be seen in the Archives of the Staff Corps. My personal experiences had better be buried with me. He had a dislike to memoirs in general, which he was at no pains to conceal, saying that they only served to gratify the writer's vanity, and often contributed to distort im portant historical events by the subjective views of an individual, and the intrusion of trivial details. It might easily happen that a particular character which in history stood forth in noble simplicity should be hideously disfigured by the narrative of some per sonal experiences, and the ideal halo which had sur rounded it be destroyed. And highly characteristic of Moltke's magnanimity are the words he once uttered on such an occasion, and which I noted at the time: Whatever is published in a military history is always dressed for effect yet it is a duty of piety and patriot ism never to impair the prestige which identifies the glory of our Army with personages of lofty position.
