It helps to understand the political and military logic that caused Prussia to unite the country that became Germany and the reasons of the birth of Prussian militarism and of German concerne about her geopolitical situation. It's from this time that we can trace the seed of 1914 World War.3 of 4 people found the following review helpful. A Return to the primacy of foreign policyBy A. StavropoulosBrendan Simms' "The Impact of Napoleon" is one of the best historical texts I have ever read. The author presents a cogent and persuasive argument that Prussian foreign policy from 1797-1806 was not influenced in any major way by domestic politics; correcting a mistake that German historians have been making since they began writing on the subject. He shows that there was no "Pro-French" lobby in the court; and that the ministers changed policies to suit the wishes of the king. Simms shows how foreign policy was firmly in the hands of the King; Frederick William III; and the ultimate decision rested with him. Simms shows how the Prussian system of government (put in place by Frederick the Great) led to disaster in the hands of a weak and timid king; when confronted by Napoleon.The book is broken up into a section on the Prussian system; and to a section on how the system and the individuals in it reacted to events. There is an epilogue explaining how the horrible defeat at Jena led to a reevaluation of the system and its reform in favor of a more professional and independent governmental system and foreign ministry. For anyone who is interested in Napoleonic diplomatic history or in German history this is a must-have book.
