He presents an extremely detailed narrative of the battle. Following a full discussion of the events of 6 August 1870, he also discusses the tactics of the battle, and training and other characteristics of the troops involved. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis new edition not only includes all of the maps from the original, but also features a new essay outlining the life and military writings of Henderson, by Duncan Rogers, as well as added illustrations and a bibliography of the Battle of Spicheren.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Helion \u0026 Company, Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47059345539312,"sku":"9781909982611","price":89.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781909982611_p0.jpg?v=1763625326","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781909982611","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
