The Wars of German Unification
I was browsing through 'The Wars of German Unification' by Dennis Showalter at Borders last night. It is a detailed account of the unification wars including the bid to unite the states of the North German Confederation and the eventual wars against Denmark, Austria and France.
I was looking for details of the military campaign of the Schleswig-Holstein conflict of 1864 against Denmark. This book describes the political machinations of Bismarck and the different policies adopted. It clearly wasn't what I was seeking.
I read a post on the Consimworld forum describing a book that has the order of battle, campaign details and more. 'Bismarck's First War: The Campaign of Schleswig and Jutland 1864 by Michael Embree. This book is published by Helion & Company. This book would, of course, be more promising.
