David Wetzel is the author of The Diplomacy of the Crimean War, editor of From the Berlin Museum to the Berlin Wall, and, with Theodore S. Hamerow, editor of International Politics and German History. He works in the administration, and has lectured in history, at the University of California, Berkeley.
This 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
