Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Campaign of Koniggratz: A Study of the Austro-Prussian Conflict in the Light of the American Civil War The greater part of the subject-matter of this volume was originally given as a lecture to the officers at the U. S. Infantry and Cavalry School. The kindly reception accorded to the lecture encouraged the author to revise and amplify it, and to publish it it in a small volume, which made its appearance ten years ago. Though the first edition was exhausted soon after it issued from the press, a gratifying demand for the book has continued and has prompted the author to revise the work and to present it again to the public. As to the narrative portion of the book, no other claim is made than that it is based upon the story of the campaign as given in the Prussian Official History of the Campaign of 1866, Hozier´s "Seven Weeks´ War," Derrecagaix´s "La Guerre Moderne," and Adams´ "Great Campaigns in Europe." It has not been deemed necessary to cumber the pages with notes of reference, but the author desires here to express his indebtedness to these works, giving precedence to them in the order stated. Other books consulted are mentioned in foot-notes. The author has personally visited the scene of the operations described, and, especially in regard to the topography of the battle-field of Koniggratz, he is able to speak from his own observation.
