This book offers a fascinating insider's account of one of the most dramatic events in European history. When the Franco-Prussian War broke out in 1870, Frederic Reitlinger was serving as a diplomat in Paris. This book recounts his daring escape from the city in a hot-air balloon, and his subsequent political mission to London and Vienna. With vivid descriptions and colorful anecdotes, Reitlinger brings the world of 19th-century diplomacy to life.
