Krátky popis
'Superb on the human consequences of war, ravishing in its
evocations of wartime life' The Times'Compassionate and
thought-provoking history' Daily TelegraphLess than a month after
it marched into France in summer 1870, the Prussian army had
devastated its opponents, captured Napoleon III and wrecked all
assumptions about Europe's pecking order. Other countries looked on
in helpless amazement. Pushing aside further French resistance, a
new German Empire was proclaimed (as a deliberate humiliation) in
the Palace of Versailles, leaving the French to face civil war in
Paris, reparations and the loss of Alsace and Lorraine.Bismarck's
War tells the story of one of the most shocking reversals of
fortune in modern European history. The culmination of a globally
violent decade, the Franco-Prussian War was deliberately engineered
by Bismarck, both to destroy French power and to unite Germany. It
could not have worked better, but it also had lurking inside it the
poisonous seeds of all the disasters that would ravage the
twentieth century.Drawing on a remarkable variety of sources,
Chrastil's book explores the military, technological, political and
social events of the war, its human cost and the way that the sheer
ferocity of war, however successful, has profound consequences for
both victors and victims.
