SB xviii+350pp with 11 coloured Maps 2020 N&MP Reprint of 1908 Edition.Published Price £25 The Battle on 5 August, was the second of three critical French defeats. Moltke had originally planned to keep Bazaine's army on the Saar River until he could attack it with the 2nd Army in front and the 1st Army on its left flank, while the 3rd Army closed towards the rear. The ageing General von Steinmetz made an overzealous,unplanned move, leading the 1st Army south from his position on the Moselle. He moved straight toward the town of Spicheren, cutting off Prince Friedrich Karl of Prussia from his forward cavalry units in the process.
