   John.  First Osprey has a history of the Franco  German War the historical side of the War. As for Uniforms Osprey Men at Arms has German and French Armies  Next would be the two printed by Helion & Company  Saarbruck to Sedan the Imperial Phase of the war ,The Republic Fights Back the Republic Phase of the War. These are two new books with lots of Information on both Armies . If you have deep pockets then Verlag Militaria  For older stuff try Tradition Magazine the Fucken Series on Armies of the 19th century.  Willie

What specifically are the two volumes on the Franco Prussian War 1870-71?  Is that an Osprey reference?
