Open All Close All

http://schema.org/description

  • "The battle of Solferino, fought during the Franco-Austrian War of 1859, was the largest European battle since Leipzig in 1813. In the presence of three crowned heads of state-- Napoleon III of France, Emperor Franz-Joseph of Austria, and Victor Emmanuel II of Piedmont-Sardinia (later the King of all Italy)-- the armies clashed together in a bitterly fought contest that would leave more than 40,000 dead. As a crucial climax to the Second Italian War of Independence, this title covers the build-up to the battle, including actions at Montebello, Palestro, and Magenta that led to the decisive moment of the campaign. Full-color, battle-scene artwork and detailed maps illustrate this comprehensive account of the commanders, armies, plans, and aftermath of one of the bloodiest battles of the period."
