Very readable and informative. I now know what I wanted to know, and have a basic understanding of the conflict and its role in the period. <br /><br />Ironically enough, reading this book made me realize how much the game DIPLOMACY reflected the way the leaders of the most powerful countries in the world saw themselves in the period between the fall of Napoleon and the outbreak of The Great War.<br /><br />--John R. <br />John D.

It is very much an understudied conflict in the English speaking world, but is more influential on world miitary affairs, IMO, than our own Civil War was. <br /><br />https://www.amazon.com/Franco-Prussian-War-German-Conquest-1870-1871/dp/0521584361/ref=la_B001IXUE7M_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1480711026&sr=1-1Paul Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14620026998861471269noreply@blogger.com
