Sobre IBD

The Diary of a Soldier of Fortune is a memoir written by Stanley Portal Hyatt, a British soldier who served in various conflicts around the world in the early 20th century. The book is a first-hand account of his experiences as a soldier of fortune, including his time fighting in the Boer War, the Boxer Rebellion, and World War I.Hyatt’s diary offers a unique perspective on the life of a soldier of fortune, detailing the challenges and dangers of fighting in foreign lands for pay. He describes the brutal realities of war, the camaraderie among soldiers, and the many adventures he had while serving in various conflicts.The book also provides insights into the political and social context of the time, including the tensions between the British Empire and other nations, and the struggles for independence in various colonies.Overall, The Diary of a Soldier of Fortune is a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in military history, adventure, and the experiences of soldiers who fought in conflicts around the world.The risk of accident was considerable. A gun might go off by mistake, a wounded buck might charge, the cattle might trample you, or a fall on one of the smooth boulders might result in a fractured thigh, yet we were never less than eighty miles from a doctor, and often over two hundred miles away from one. The fever and the complaints resulting from it were, however, our worst enemies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world’s literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
