		This is a new history of the Austro-Prussian-Italian War of 1866, which paved the way for German and Italian unification.
		Until 1866, the whole history of modern warfare had been one of ever increasing troop numbers and ever more sophisticated fortress and weapons systems.
		However his account of the 1866 campaign and the battle of Custoza relies heavily on Austrian material - obviously magnifying their troops' achievements as well as the Italian defeat - while Italian sources, albeit mentioned in the bibliography, seem to be discounted or rather neglected in the narration.
