Metternich's German Policy, Volume II: The Congress of Vienna, 1814-1815 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780691612942)

Using new archival sources, this book shows that Prussia sought not the unity of Germany but its partition into five masses loosely enough joined to assure her control of the North. Hardenberg, not Metternich, supported the feudalistic claims of the estates suppressed by Napoleon and the resurrection of ancient estates' assemblies based mainly on corporate orders.

Originally published in 1984.
