An edition in Very Good+ condition that is worn from aging and has bumping to the corners in an alike dust-jacket that is mildly shelfworn.
Charles Tilly tells the story of the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-1871, a watershed event in French history. The war pitted the young, ambitious Prussian military against the experienced and battle-hardened French army. The French were ultimately defeated, and the humiliating Treaty of Frankfurt relegated France to a second-rate power. The Contentious French offers a unique, insider's perspective on one of the most dramatic and significant events in French history.; 8vo ; 456 pages; TBC.
