Major new study of three of the most formative wars of the nineteenth century Showalter's fundamental reappraisal changes our perceptions of the struggle and of its outcome Based on archival research as well as wide reading of secondary literature
Dennis Showalter is Professor of History at Colorado College, Colorado, USA
He has mined the published literature -- journals, papers, monographs--to creat a balanced, convincing analysis of three wars that shaped a continent. Dr Geoffrey Wawro This is a wonderful book, one that reveals a distinguished military historian in his prime. It is well researched and cogently argued, yet also witty and often on the edge. Holger H. Herwig The thoroughness and sustained attention to detail he has brought to this task will be as novel to most political and social historians as to their military colleagues. This is an indispensable contribution, not only to the history of war, but to European history as a whole. The Times Literary Supplement
