Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Franco-Prussian War and Its Hidden Causes Some two or three years ago I happened to read in the Revue des Deux Mondes the chapter of his History in which Emile Ollivier told of the publication of the news, in July, 1870, that Prince Leopold of Hohenzollern had been offered and had accepted the throne of Spain. Previously, I had had a vague idea that M. Ollivier was commonly held up to obloquy as being mainly responsible for the War of 1870; but I was not aware that he had been engaged for many years in writing a history of the Second Empire which was to be at the same time a defence of his own brief administration. My interest being once aroused, I began to read back, and to read collaterally, and so convinced myself that in the common attribution of responsibility to M. Ollivier much injustice had been done; and that, in this country at least, save among historical students, there is little acquaintance with the actual causes of the conflict. Believing that M. Ollivier should have an opportunity to plead his own cause in English to those who might be alarmed by the many volumes of his work, I entered into correspondence with him as to the possibility of making extracts therefrom suitable for translation, which should set forth clearly the story of this Hohenzollern candidacy and its sequel. Eventually M. Ollivier himself made up the volume which is here presented in translation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
