Outstanding book, with its length belying its depth
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This book is a simply outstanding, meaty introduction to a complicated era of European history, brought out with an amazing balance of interesting social, anecdotal, statistical, and diplomatic detail. This could be the only source you read on the subject, and you'll be well served. Or it could start you along a long road of exploring its topics--such as the once perennial Schleswig-Holstein question, Austro-Prussian relations and the dream of a greater Germany, etc., etc.--more in-depth.
