Memoirs of a Cavalier by Daniel Defoe
"Memoirs of a Cavalier" by Daniel Defoe is a work of historical fiction published in 1720. The story follows an English gentleman-soldier through two devastating conflicts: the Thirty Years' War in Germany, where he serves under the legendary Swedish King Gustavus Adolphus, and the English Civil War, where he fights for King Charles the First. Through one man's military journal spanning 1632 to 1648, Defoe chronicles the grand sweep of European warfare
and political upheaval during a tumultuous era. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
