Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Last Campaign of Hanover: A Lecture Delivered at the Royal United Service Institution, on 1st April, 1870, Before Field Marshal H. R. H. The Duke of Cambridge, K. G., Etc;, Etc;, Commanding-in-Chief The importance to Prussia, with the view to subsequent operations against the south, of first making herself mistress of these three countries, was very great. Hanover lies directly between the western and eastern provinces of Prussia, and, in an enemy's hands, interposes an effectual bar to the passage of troops between them; in like manner hesse-cassel interposes between these western and eastern possessions; and, moreover, through Cassel passes that railroad which is the great artery of communication between those provinces. Of Saxony I need not now speak. At once, after her declaration of war, Prussia put her tr00ps in motion. At this time the army of Hanover was in that unfortunate condition which is known as a peace footing. Large numbers of her infantry were on furlough; her cavalry and her artillery were perhaps in a some what better condition than usual, because it was the season of the summer drills, and they happened to be called out for regimental exercise; but they had only horses for a peace establishment. Neither cavalry nor artillery had the preper number of horses required for them to take the field, and some of the guns were actually led out to fight this campaign horsed with horses from the King's stables, and driven by the King's stablemen. At the time of this declaration of war, and of the immediately subsequent movement of Prussian troops, the Hanoverian army was in a state of dislocation, as it is termed, though immediately after the decree of mobilisation had been passed in the Diet on the 14th of June, it had been ordered that the tr00ps should be assembled at certain points by the 23rd June. But all the arrangements for the mobilisation of the army pointed towards concentration in the northern portion of the kingdom. There were no arrangements what ever for the assembly of troops in the south there were no maga zines, there were no stores of supplies, there was, in fact, nothing ready for such a concentration. But when Hanover saw that the Prussian tr00ps were about to advance from Minden towards Hanover, when she saw that troops were actually in the north of her own terri tory, as some of them were, before war was declared, it was impossible for her, as she well knew, to concentrate in time in the north, and there fore the order was issued for the concentration of the whole army in the extreme south of the Hanoverian territory, at the well known uni versity town of Gottingen.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After a year of fighting, armies on both sides of the American Civil War had abandoned their early optimism regarding a swift conclusion. Beset by military and political pressures, General George B. McClellan committed his Army of the Potomac to the Peninsula Campaign, with the ultimate goal of capturing Richmond and destroying the surrounding Confederates. Hampered by Lincoln's demand for troops to protect Washington, a limited Union Army engaged Confederate forces in a series of engagements in and around the community of Hanover Court House, Virginia, eventually forcing a Confederate retreat but missing the critical opportunity to press on and capture Richmond. It was an opportunity that would never come again, leading to three more years of protracted conflict, the rise of Robert E. Lee as Confederate commander, and a missed chance that haunted McClellan for the rest of his life.

Book excerpt: The outbreak of the Seven Years War saw the formation of new alliances and led to the conduct of military operations in several theaters simultaneously. The campaign of 1757 saw large-scale maneuvers, with their necessary operational corollaries of supply and logistics, as France put an army of 100,000 men into the field. The conduct of the campaign also testifies to the difficulty of exercising command in the face of a court and a government for which short-term results took precedence over means. Notwithstanding such difficulties, the campaign of the French armies in Westphalia saw its climax play out around the village of Hastenbeck on 26 July 1757, where the forces of Maréchal d'Estrées gained a victory that came close to knocking Hanover out of the war. The story of the campaign can be told from the human perspective thanks to the large body of memoirs and letters from officers, both general and subordinate, of cavalry and infantry regiments. Having left their garrisons four months earlier, they had come to battle at the gates of Hanover after having traveled more than 600 kilometers through the Low Countries and into Germany.

Book excerpt: In the spring of 1866, the so-called German Confederation, then a loose organization of autonomous states, was thrown into crisis by a rift between the two largest members, the Austrian Empire, and The Kingdom of Prussia. Since the founding of the Confederation, in 1815, it had been tacitly accepted that Austria was the overseeing authority. Now, however, a more belligerent Prussia sought a leading role. Under a new and ambitious Chancellor, the ruthless Prince Otto von Bismarck, Prussia would no longer accept a secondary role. This vital question of leadership naturally affected all member states, and none could ignore it. Matters, however, had moved beyond discussion, and, in June, hostilities began, with the Prussian invasion of the Kingdom of Hanover, and the Electorate of Hesse-Cassel. This volume chronicles the conflict over the unification of Germany, which actually occurred on German soil. The campaign in southern and western Germany ensured that political control of German affairs would be firmly in Prussian hands, controlled by Bismarck, in much the same way that the great battles between Prussia and Austria in the east would exclude Austria from German affairs altogether. The detailed story of this, the war of unification within Germany itself, is narrated here, compiled from numerous published and unpublished sources, including many contemporary and first-hand accounts, as well as official reports. The importance of the campaign, far too often ignored, is told here. This is an invaluable resource for any student of European military history of the mid-19th Century. Key topics include the historical background to the conflict, the political crisis of 1866 in the "German Parliament" and the build-up to war, full descriptions of all military forces involved, the various phases of the campaign. The book includes comprehensive orders of battle, informative maps, numerous illustrations (some in color) and photographs, many informative charts and diagrams. The author also presents a detailed analysis of contemporary and later sources. This is the latest title in Helion's ground-breaking series of 19th Century studies, and will appear in hardback as a strictly limited edition printing of 750 copies, each individually numbered and signed by the author on a decorative title page.
