Summary:
"A new history of the
war
that toppled the French Empire, unified Germany, and set
Europe
on the path to World
War
I. Among the conflicts that convulsed
Europe
during the nineteenth century, none was more startling and consequential than the
Franco-Prussian
War
of 1870-1871. Deliberately engineered by Prussian chancellor Otto von Bismarck, the
war
succeeded in shattering French supremacy, deposing Napoleon III, and uniting a new German Empire. But it also produced brutal military innovations and a precarious new imbalance of power that together set the stage for the devastating world wars of the next century. In Bismarck's
War
, historian Rachel Chrastil chronicles events on the battlefield in full, while also showing in intimate detail how the
war
reshaped and blurred the boundaries between civilian and soldier as the fighting swept across France. The result is the definitive history of a transformative conflict that changed
Europe
, and the history of warfare, forever"--From publisher.
