Produktbeschreibung

The Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71 has traditionally been seen as a limited conflict between French and German forces. This edited volume challenges this view and shows that it was a war of ideas, values and perceptions which transformed the political, diplomatic, and military culture across Europe.
