I have read many books on these topics and many are very difficult reads given that I am not grounded in the advanced mathematical models and approaches that ...

The Wars of German Unification (Modern Wars)

1 review
Dennis Showalter

A Hodder Arnold Publication, 2004

An Excellent overview
Dr. Showalter has done us a great service, both summing up the scholarship on the wars of 1864, 1866, and 1870-1 while adding his own insights and judgements. His empathy and refusal to endlessly find fault makes this work an invaluable corrective to Wawro's two deep, well written, but flawed works on 1866 and 1870. If this material interests you, this is a book you must read.
