Description

In the summer of 1870 Prussia and her German allies, under the command of Helmut von Moltke, crushed the French Empire in a series of actions that rocked Europe's very foundation. Shortly after the defeat of the Imperial French army at Sedan the Prussian forces positioned themselves around Paris. With the Second Empire in ruins the new French Republic, and its untried masses, gallantly attempted to relive Paris finding, in the end, that the German stranglehold on tehri starving capital remained firm. The spring of 1871 signaled the end of the Franco-Prussian War and witnessed the birth of the German Empire. In this volume you can read about the most feared army in Europe, the victors of Spicheren, Worth, Mars-la-Tour, Gravelotte-St. Privat, Sedan and other battles from an author who participated in the first "modern war" in Europe. Read about the breechloading rifles - the cassepot and needlegun, the French "surprise" - the mitrailleuse (an early machine gun), Krupp breechloading artillery, command and control, tactics and formations; the list goes on. Long out of print, Absinthe Press is proud to add Tactical Deductions from the War of 1870-71 (Franco-Prussian War) to our growing list of titles relating to the wars of the Era of the Second Empire.
