Of note is that the same way 'Germany ' and France went to war in August 1870 greatly resembles how they went to war in August 1914.Per the Kindle Edition, the text is hard to follow because of the poor maps. They'd be fine in a full-size print edition, but in Kindle they are unreadable.Further, the Appendices are also useless, with headings jumbled single-column down the left margins.Still, much useful info for the $2.99 price. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Moltke the Elder's Greatness Begins to Shine *by "***" on Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2018* After a brief examination of Moltke the Elder's military accomplishments up to 1866, the author takes a closer look at his role as the Chief of Staff of the Prussian and North German Federation actions against the Austrians and her allies in 1866. Then the scene shifts to the reorganization and build-up before the war against France. The operations of 1870 along the border, against the main French army that is finally bottled up in Metz, and against the Army of Chalons until its being trapped and surrendered at Sedan are very well described with well-done maps that help illustrate the maneuverings. The struggles Moltke the Elder had to contend with two of his army commanders and with the Prussian king are well covered. Both of these volumes are a must for anyone interested in the military operations in Europe between the end of the Napoleonic Wars and the beginning of the Great War (WW1). ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perhaps the least studied war of the most importance..... *by J***Z on Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2019* The Franco Prussian war and the capture of Alsace and Lorraine all but guaranteed a future struggle between Germany and France. This culminated in World War I. For those interested in the fall of Napoleon III and the French Empire, and the brilliance of Bismarck and the elder Moltke, I highly recommend this work, especially as there is quite a dearth of literature on the subject at hand. Dry at points, but books on war must have such attributes at times. A very good read. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/42903410-franco-prussian-war-1870-1871-volume-1-the-campaign-sedan](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/42903410-franco-prussian-war-1870-1871-volume-1-the-campaign-sedan) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-10-04*
