J'accuse (Ich klage an): Zwei Jahre in französischer Gefangenschaft
by Max Georg Brausewetter
About the author
Born on May 27, 1867, in Stettin, Max Brausewetter was a German doctor and writer. Reliable reference sources describe him as both a physician and an author, a combination that helps explain the practical, firsthand quality often associated with his writing.
He is especially remembered for J'accuse. Ich klage an: Zwei Jahre in französischer Gefangenschaft, a work published after his death in 1918 and presented as a record of his experiences in French captivity. The book has kept his name in circulation long after his lifetime, especially among readers interested in first-person historical writing.
Brausewetter died on September 16, 1916, in Le Puy-en-Velay, France. I wasn't able to confirm a suitable portrait from the sources I checked, so no author image is included here.
