Summary: "The Campaign of Königgrätz" by Arthur L. Wagner is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work examines the Austro-Prussian War of 1866, specifically focusing on the decisive Battle of Königgrätz, while drawing parallels to American Civil War tactics and strategies. Wagner aims to highlight the military developments and preparations that influenced the outcome of the conflict, establishing a detailed understanding of the armies involved and their respective strengths and weaknesses. At the start of the narrative, Wagner outlines the historical context leading to the war, emphasizing the flawed diplomatic negotiations between Austria and Prussia over the contested provinces of Schleswig and Holstein. He elaborates on the military organization of both nations, underscoring Prussia's systemic efficiency and the overall readiness of its armed forces compared to Austria's. The opening portion also discusses the various army corps stationed prior to the battle, their strategic placements, and the significance of rapid mobilization—a critical factor that would soon play a pivotal role during the unfolding military engagements.
