Autorenportrait
Colonel John Sir Adye (1819-1900) was a notable figure in the British military, whose experiences spanned several critical periods of 19th-century warfare. Adye's background in the Royal Artillery afforded him a keen perspective on military engagements, which he later distilled into his memoir, 'Recollections of a Military Life'. In this work, Adye provides a candid and insightful account of his experiences, shedding light on various campaigns and the life of a British officer. The book has since been recognised for its historical value and literary merit, as it captures the essence of military life during an era defined by both progress and conflict. As a military professional, Adye was known for his strategic acumen and leadership qualities, which enabled him to navigate the shifting contours of the British Empire's military involvements. His narrative bears the hallmarks of an author deeply rooted in the tradition of the British military, one who observed the evolution of technology and tactics firsthand. In scholarly circles, Adye's contributions extend beyond the battlefield, serving as a primary source for historians interested in Victorian-era military history and the day-to-day realities of soldiers during this transformative period.
Informationen zu E-Books
„E-Book“ steht für digitales Buch. Um diese Art von Büchern lesen zu können wird entweder eine spezielle Software für Computer, Tablets und Smartphones oder ein E-Book Reader benötigt. Da viele verschiedene Formate (Dateien) für E-Books existieren, gilt es dabei, einiges zu beachten.
Von uns werden digitale Bücher in drei Formaten ausgeliefert. Die Formate sind EPUB mit DRM (Digital Rights Management), EPUB ohne DRM und PDF. Bei den Formaten PDF und EPUB ohne DRM müssen Sie lediglich prüfen, ob Ihr E-Book Reader kompatibel ist. Wenn ein Format mit DRM genutzt wird, besteht zusätzlich die Notwendigkeit, dass Sie einen kostenlosen Adobe® Digital Editions Account besitzen. Wenn Sie ein E-Book, das Adobe® Digital Editions benötigt herunterladen, erhalten Sie eine ASCM-Datei, die zu Digital Editions hinzugefügt und mit Ihrem Account verknüpft werden muss.
