This book analyzes a correspondence between Prussian envoy Usedom and General La Marmora, to show that La Marmora misapprehended the import of Usedom's letter, which contained a strategy for an Austro-Prussian war that would also realize Italian nationalist goals. The author argues that La Marmora's strategic blunders resulted from his failure to grasp this larger plan, and that his ill-fated attack on the Quadrilatero actually served Prussia's geopolitical interests by provoking an Austrian counterattack that occupied Prussian forces and prevented them from intervening on Italy's behalf at a later date. The book situates this episode in the complex diplomatic maneuvering of 1866, revealing the interplay of Realpolitik and nationalist aspirations. It also sheds light on the significance of Prussia's rise as a power in Europe, and the challenges Italy faced in pursuing unification amidst the ambitions of neighboring powers.
