""On The Trail Of The War"" is a historical account written by Alexander Innes Shand in 1870, chronicling his experiences during the Franco-Prussian War. Shand was a British journalist who traveled extensively throughout France and Germany during the war, documenting the events and interviewing people on both sides of the conflict. The book provides a detailed and vivid description of the war, including the major battles, the politics and diplomacy surrounding the conflict, and the impact of the war on the civilians caught in the middle. Shand's writing style is engaging and informative, and he provides a unique perspective on the war from an outsider's point of view. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the Franco-Prussian War and the impact it had on Europe.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
