Produktbeschreibung

This book examines Prussia's response to Napoleon and Napoleonic expansionism in the years before the crushing defeats of Auerstadt and Jena, a period of German history as untypical as it was dramatic. Combining high-political and geopolitical analysis, it presents a comprehensive and nuanced picture of Prussia before 1806.
