{"product_id":"9781874622550","title":"Strategy of the Seven Weeks War: 1866","description":"Originally published in 1902, The Strategy of the Seven Weeks War presents a clear account of the pivotal events of the Bohemian campaign during the Austro-Prussian War of 1866. The author took Count Blumenthal's journals and used them as a framework around which he wrote his account - Blumenthal being Chief of Staff of the Prussian Second Army.\u003cp\u003eArranged in a chronological format, the author surveys the build-up to and outbreak of war and Prussian preparations for mobilisation, as well as the mobilisation itself. This is then followed by a day-by-day account of the campaign, focusing on troop movements and strategic decisions. Finally, the author presents a detailed critique of the original published journals of Count Blumenthal, revealing a number of interesting anecdotes and incidents relating to both this officer and comrades such as Moltke. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eQuotes from Blumenthal are scattered throughout the text and help shed light on the opinions of the Prussian commanders, and in particular upon their decision-making processes. Not only this, but Gillespie-Addison's work represents an admirable précis of the entire campaign in less than 60 pages. This edition also features a new introductorion by Duncan Rogers, plus two maps in an endpocket, and two tipped-in portraits of Blumenthal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKey Features\u003cbr\u003eInvaluable addition to the limited library of English-language works dealing with the 1866 campaign \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExcellent précis of the Bohemia campaign, primarily from the Prussian point-of-view \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNew edition features a specially-written introductory essay and tipped-in photographic plates\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Helion \u0026 Company, Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47048391950576,"sku":"9781874622550","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781874622550_p0.jpg?v=1763602702","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781874622550","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
