ReviewsThis is diplomatic history with a difference. Out of the dry bones of the diplomatic documents David Wetzel has created a fascinating story that illustrates the supreme importance of personalities in the making of politics and, more important, the making of wars."-Sir Michael Howard, Regius Professor of Modern History, emeritus, Oxford University "David Wetzel provides a clear narrative of the diplomatic background to the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian War. . . . the book can be recommended as a useful introduction to a major theme in European history which, because of changes in historiographical fashion, has suffered from neglect for some forty years." - Times Literary Supplement
