    Jan 17 2026
    Originally published in 1841, Moltke’s essay The Western Boundary delves into the intricate tapestry of Franco-German relations, tracing their evolution from the fall of the Roman Empire to the contemporary political landscape, all while challenging prevailing French narratives. This compelling examination follows the backdrop of Adolphe Thiers 1840 calls for the annexation of the left bank of the Rhine, which emerged after Frances capitulation to Britain and Russia over the Oriental question. Additionally, the collection includes Holland and Belgium in their Mutual Relations, a thought-provoking analysis from 1830 addressing the turmoil in Belgium ignited by the French Revolution. The inclusion of Considerations in the Choice of Railway Routes from 1843 highlights Moltke’s forward-thinking perspective on railways, a crucial element in German military strategy and economic planning. His fascination with railways began in 1841 when he joined the board of the Berlin–Hamburg railway, a connection he maintained until 1844, but continued to influence his military thought for decades. - Summary by Alister
