From the Translator's Preface: "This is the story of a man who lived during the era when Europe was overrun by the armies of Napoleon and who took part in the battle for freedom against that tyranny. His letters and journal tell much of the story and give an intimate view of the life and thought of the time. Set in another country, in another period, it is still the same voice of freedom and faith that speaks through the ages. Time and circumstance change, man's struggle for freedom continues".
