Yes, I am sure I could "disprove" everything quoted, keeping in mind that some things just can't be fully disproven in the same way you disprove a mathematical equation, which is of course no evidence in favor of their validity. But I highly doubt it would be worth the effort. It's practically...
The summary I read sounded very promising, so I ordered it, thank you very much!
Because the thesis that the "mastermind" Bismarck seeked a war with Denmark since 1862 was refuted a long time ago. He didn't acted - but reacted to the entirely incompetent foreign policy and national hubris...
