George Robert Gleig

    George Robert Gleig war ein schottischer Autor, der für seine eindringlichen Militärberichte bekannt ist. Ursprünglich ein Theologiestudent, gab er sein Stipendium auf, um sich Wellingtons Armee anzuschließen, und erlebte die entscheidenden Feldzüge der Napoleonischen Kriege und Konflikte in den Vereinigten Staaten aus erster Hand. Seine Einblicke vom Schlachtfeld, insbesondere aus dem Napoleonischen Krieg auf der Iberischen Halbinsel, bildeten die Grundlage seines berühmtesten Werkes, das erstmals im Blackwood's Magazine erschien. Gleigs Prosa zeichnet sich durch einen nüchternen Realismus und scharfsinnige Beobachtungen über das Soldatenleben aus, was ihn zu einer bedeutenden Stimme in der Kriegsliteratur macht.
