About the author
André Guérin was a French journalist and popular historian known for making complex historical subjects accessible to a broad readership.
His works combine solid documentation with a strong narrative style and a close attention to the human dimension of historical events.
About the book
The Franco-Prussian War of 1870 profoundly changed Europe. It led to the fall of Napoleon III, the unification of Germany under Bismarck and the emergence of a new political order on the continent.
Why this book is unusual

Why this book remains relevant today
The book offers valuable reflections on political leadership, diplomatic failures and the long-term consequences of strategic misjudgements.
