C19th Century history
I have been asked to suggest some titles on general C19th Century history, although admittedly the asker is being rather vague (this was after I had to explain to her that the Seven Weeks War was not the same as the Seven Years War, and the title of a painting she had seen was not a mistake...). Anyway, since it's not necessarily my area, can anyone suggest a decent book with coverage of European 19th century history - social as well as military? She's particularly interested in Austria & Prussia, but a more general history than military. Thanks! Rob

The wife has a copy of this left over from school: http://books.google.com/books?id=BkJF_Oh60N8C&pg=PA32&dq=the+industrial+revolution+19th+century+europe&ei=TNrqSvEJn_iUBLbZhYsM#v=onepage&q=the%20industrial%20revolution%2019th%20century%20europe&f=false Kinda dry, but a pretty good overview.

Robert Gildea's "Barricades and Borders" is a reliable textbook-style read: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Barricades-Borders-Europe-1800-1914-History/dp/0199253005/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1256906233&sr=1-2
