Franssen fictionalised the rebellion's put down in this book. The title charactor, Peter Moor, was one of the German soldiers sent down to quell the rebellion. He was a popular German novelist and this was one of his most read. From the translator's preface: "I have always felt that all war stories dwell too much on the glory and glamour of war, and too little on the hardships and horrors...". Wikipedia says this book was a good portrayal of the downsides of for a common German soldiers in this war. (Wiki also says the portrayal was strictly one sided). Frenssen later became an enthusiastic supporter of Hitler's antisemetic policys. .
