SB vii+209pp.with 10 Maps 2019 N&MP Reprint of 1914 Edition Part of the acclaimed "Special Campaign" series of works intended for serious professional students of military history each volume is interspersed with strategical and tactical comments and illustrated by numerous sketches. On 16 July 1870, the French parliament voted to declare war on Prussia and hostilities began three days later when French forces invaded German territory. The German coalition mobilised its troops much more quickly than the French and rapidly invaded north-eastern France. The German forces were superior in numbers, had better training and leadership and made more effective use of modern technology, particularly railroads and artillery.A series of swift Prussian and German victories in eastern France, culminating in the Siege of Metz and the Battle of Sedan, saw French Emperor Napoleon III captured and the army of the Second Empire decisively defeated.CONTENT:The War to 1870. - Weissenburg. - Woerth. - Spicheren. - Borny-Colombey. - Vionville-Mars-LA-Tour. - Gravelotte-St. Privat. - Chalons and Rheims. - Beaumont. - Sedan. - Metz. - Paris. - Maps:1.
