About this book
'Jena' or 'Sedan'? is a book from the German of Franz Adam Beyerlein. A note says that the German original of this novel had a larger circulation in the first year of its career than any novel of our days, close upon one quarter of a million copies having been sold. The note adds that some praised the book as a superb piece of imaginative literature of the realistic school, while others anathematised it as a libel on the great army that made Modern Germany.
Vogt puts his civilian clothes into his box and feels that the last link that had bound him to the old life was broken, for he was a soldier now. The text names Scharnhorst, Boyen, and Gneisenau as men who directed the military service into the new paths of allegiance to the nation. A hussar declares that the object of the manoeuvres is the most deadly punctuality in the meeting of the two opposing parties, and not the training of young cavalry lieutenants in scouting.
