Amédée Delorme

Born in Toulouse on September 10, 1850, and deceased in Maisons-Laffitte on March 22, 1936, Amédée Delorme was a French author whose work is closely tied to military life and historical narrative.

Library and publisher records describe him as a writer, historian, and soldier. He is especially associated with accounts of the Franco-Prussian War, including Journal d'un sous-officier, 1870, a work valued for its direct, ground-level view of the campaign.

Delorme's writing stands out for its documentary flavor: he wrote not only to tell a story, but also to preserve the experience of soldiers and the realities of war. For listeners interested in memoir, history, and nineteenth-century France, his books offer a clear and personal window into a turbulent time.
