A new title in the Great Battles of History series deals with the decisive moment in the Austro-Prussian War when the Prussian Uhlans defeated the Austrian units. The battle (perhaps more commonly known as Sadowa) was ""the biggest encounter of its kind"" and established the triumph of the ""advanced technology of the Industrial Age,"" and it also had extensive political consequences.
