Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Heart of Alsace
The annexed provinces will have no reason to blush for their half-century of slavery! Those who have failed to keep the compact of silent fidelity are but a handful. The hostages of defeat, Alsatians and Lorraines have courageously accepted the part of the representatives of human dignity protesting against brutal force. The small nations owe them a deep debt of gratitude. Their courageous resistance has had this result: that hence forth the strong will hesitate to treat the weak like a flock of cattle to be driven at will.
