Klappentext
The Austro-Prussian-Italian War of 1866 paved the way for German and Italian unification. Blending military and social history, this book describes Prussia's successful invasion of Habsburg Bohemia and the wretched collapse of the Austrian army in July 1866 due to panicked fumbling on the part of the Austrian commandant--that not only lost the war but ultimately brought down the Habsburg monarchy. 16 photos. 21 maps.
