Masterful writing and analysis
The August 2009 review by Mr.
Exceptional Read
I have always thought that the Franco- Prussian War was the first truly modern war, and this book really proves my case.
Five Stars
Good reading.
Five Stars
Only Alistair can write this well.
An Outstanding Work About Paris 1870-1871
Many history buffs would start the tense, violent, and tragically merciless politics of the Twentieth Century in Sarajevo in the summer of 1914.
One of the best overviews available of this complex and thought-provoking topic.
Still one of the best overall works available on the Commune.
The start of the century-long Franco-Prussian conflict
In 1865, the French were at the top of their game.
Gift
Purchased this book as a Chrsitmas gift for my grandson who likes to read about WWI.
the beginning of the modern Hundred Years War
I became interested in this book because of the preface, written in 1965.
the definitive retelling of a year of war and madness
Horne's balanced, lively book of that seminal year 1870-71 in history is a tale of utter French madness rivaling the Jacobin era of the Revolution.
