Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from General Pichegru´s Treason The outbreak of war led me to postpone the publication of this volume, which was completed more than a year ago. But, although a return to peaceful conditions seems still remote, I have been advised that the present time may not be inopportune for the appearance of a work of this character. In the course of the struggle upon which we are now engaged, much has been heard of spies and of the enemy´s system of espionage. In these circumstances, a story which illustrates certain aspects of our own secret service in a former war may prove of interest. In recent years two French works have appeared dealing exclusively with Pichegru´s treason. In his Conjuration de Pichegru, M. Ernest Daudet has set himself the ungrateful task of seeking to rehabilitate Pichegru´s memory and his contribution to the history of the affair cannot be regarded as an impartial review of the subject. Moreover, he appears to have confined his researches to the archives at Chantilly and to have neglected entirely the very important correspondence of the English agents concerned in the business. No such criticism, however, can be applied to M. Caudrillier´s work, La trahison de Pichegru. But, although it is evident that he must have spent much time at the London Record Office in consulting the despatches of both Wickham and Craufurd, he seems to have overlooked the many letters referring to Pichegru contained in the Fortescue Papers.
