The author's objective has been to analyse letters related to wars, military operations, upheaval and civil unrest. To appreciate how and why the mail was carried, an understanding of each conflict is crucial. Therefore, each chapter includes an analysis of the military and political background of the period in question.
A side benefit of conflict, if one can call it that, is that many letters with military relevance survive, shedding light on contemporary events. More often than not it is possible to recreate the effect wars, battles and turmoil had on the transportation of mail.
The writers of these letters sometimes did not survive the event about which they wrote, adding a poignant relevance.
Because of its international nature this book should not only be of interest to philatelists but also to readers interested in European history, especially that of The Netherlands. France, Great Britain and Germany.
Title, Dedication, Contents, Plate, Preface, Introduction. xiv + 168 pages text, with examples, colour plates data and information.
Hardback with dustcover over original dark brown cloth with gilt blocking to spine titles. Very Good.
