Slagtebænk Dybbøl - 18. april 1864 - historien om et slag
The Battle of Dybbol, 1864. Prussian troops lay siege to an outpost in the far south of Denmark. The conflict is over control of the Duchy of Schleswig, recently annexed by Denmark to the alarm of its largely German-speaking inhabitants. Danish troops make a valiant attempt to hold out but are overrun by the might of the Prussian onslaught. Of little strategic importance, the struggle for Schleswig foreshadowed the same forces that, fifty years later, would tear Europe apart. Prussia's victory would not only rejuvenate its nascent militarism, but help it claim leadership of the new German Empire.
Told in rich detail through first-hand accounts, Tom Buk-Swienty's magisterial account of the Schleswig conflict tells the story of this pivotal war. 1864 shows how a minor regional conflict foreshadowed the course of diplomacy that led to the First World War and brutally presaged the industrialised future of warfare. But most of all, in its human detail, from touching letters between husbands and wives to heartbreaking individual stories of loss, 1864 is a gripping, epic human drama that shows the effect all wars have on the soldiers, on families and on the individual men and women who must live its realities.

Fascinating. A glimpse into a little-known hell, the story told through a myriad of ordinary participants' voices. A gripping account of war and human experiences of war.
But may make very little sense to people not already familiar with 19th century Germany and the political situation in Europe between the fall of Napoleon and the unification of Germany under Prussian leadership.

The TV series provides a dramatisation of the events of the Second Schleswig War. The book is a very detailed history which delves into European politics, the start of the Red Cross, medical practices of the time as well as the actual battles.
It is the telling of a classical butterfly effect - the mental problems of the Danish PM causes the war which causes Germany to form which causes......
The author uses a lot of diaries and letters from soldiers and officers from both sides. It is obvious the poor soldier just wanted to go home and few felt their death would help themselves or their families.
I did not feel the format of the book was necessary, with Part I seemingly repeated throughout the rest of the book.

Redan när jag kollade på TV-serien 1864 för flera år sedan ville jag läsa den här boken. Slagtebænk Dybbøl handlar om ett krig som verkar vara glömt i nästan alla länder i Europa förutom Danmark och Tyskland. Konstigt på något sätt, eftersom flera länder i Europa hade indirekt att göra med kriget om Sleschwig-Holstein.
Boken har absolut upplevt till mina stora förväntningar. Berättelsen tog mig (jag viste nästan ingenting om Slesvigska krigerna förutom vad jag fortfarande viste från serien) genom händelserna som var anledningen till kriget, genom kriget själv naturligtvis och en del av de efterdyningarna. Boken var så skrivit att det var enkel att läsa och begriplig för någon som vet inte specielt mycket om krig och politik.
Fakten att Tom Buk-Swienty använde många brev/dokumenter från soldaterna, politiker, författare och andra ögonvittnar gorde berättelsen till en interessant och främst imponerande läsupplevelse!
Också fakten att boken är skrivit mer som en berättelse än en sammanfatning av fakta gorde det lättare att läsa.
Den här boken är en absolut "must read" för människor som har ett interesse för Danmark! När du läsar historien om det här glömda kriget, då blir det tydlig vilken stor påverkan det har haft på Danmark som ett land och danskarna som ett folk. Även den Tyska sidan av kriget är beskrivet på ett bra sätt så läsaren får en komplet som möjligt bild av kriget och alla dess aspekter.

Since I watched the series 1864 a few years ago I have wanted to read this book. Slagtebænk Dybbøl describes a war which seems to be forgotten by nearly all European countries except for Denmark and Germany. Weird in a way, because many European countries were indirectly involved in the war for Schleswig-Holstein.
The book absolutely lived up to my expectations. The story took me (I didn't know much about this war except for some information I remembered from the series) through the events which led to the war, the war itself and a part of the aftermath. The book was written in such a way that it was easy to understand for someone who does not know much about war or politics.
The fact that Tom Buk-Swienty used letters/documents from soldiers, politicians, writers and other witnessess made the story interesting and most importantly very impressive.
Also the fact that the book was more written as a story than a compilation of facts, made it easier readable.
This book is an absolute "must read" for people with an interest for Denmark! When you read about this forgotten war, you start to realise the enormous impact it had on Denmark as a country and the Danes as people. Even the German side of the war is thoroughly described in the book, which gives the reader a complete as possible overview of the war and all its aspects.

The Danish-Prussian war of 1864 over the Duchy of Schleswig is a little known chapter of European history, apparently deemed unimportant enough by whoever comes up with the curriculum that it was never so much as mentioned during my history classes in school. (And this in Potsdam, at the heart of what was once Prussia.) The first I learned about this piece of history was when the TV series based on this excellent account caught my eye - I have yet to watch it, but if it's anywhere near as gripping as this book, it'll certainly be worth it.

This history of the second Schleswig war of 1864 bills itself as "the forgotten war that shaped modern Europe", but that's just marketing hype to sell you history that was forgotten for a reason. In one of the bloodiest centuries in history, the second Schleswig war doesn't stand out as particularly noteworthy and to his credit Tom Buk-Swienty doesn't hard-sell its importance. Many might describe the war simply as a stepping stone for Germany en route to unification - a testing of its military mettle; it didn't really change anything.
So the subject isn't so interesting, but the writing and research is high quality. The depictions of war are vivid - perhaps even a little ghoulish in their repeated expositions on the horrors of war. This is no dry treatise - it has a heavy focus on action, characters and how real lives were affected. The action is framed with carefully described context, but for all that it's hard to find significant meaning in any of endless scenes of suffering and violence. But perhaps that is a message in itself.

1864 - and whilst blood ran in rivers across the United States, a now largely forgotten war took place in north-west Europe. Pitching little Denmark against the then Great Powers of Prussia and Austria, and usually referred to as The Second Schleswig War, it is also sometimes known as The First War of German Unification. It is that which provides the basis for the claim made on the book's cover.
This is one of those war histories that tries to tell the story from the perspective of the ordinary soldier, through surviving letters and diaries, and it does a good job too, the testimony of the Danish troops being particularly harrowing. I notice that the Danish language edition is called "Slagtebænk Dybbøl", which I am guessing translates as something like "Battle of Dybbøl" or "Slaughter at Dybbøl"? The book does mainly concentrate on this one battle, which seems to have been the crucial clash of the war. There is however coverage of the lead up to the outbreak of war, the events up to the battle itself and the diplomatic aftermath. The main feature of all three stages seems to have been an almost unbelievable degree of recklessness and incompetence on the part of Denmark's ruling politicians, apparently egged on by ill-informed public opinion. Their bad judgments provoked an unnecessary war and engineered a heavy defeat, which they followed up with a diplomatic disaster.
The author argues, with some justification I think, that The Second Schleswig War restored Prussian military confidence after humiliations suffered in the Napoleonic era, and the frustrations of the First Schleswig War. Two years later the Prussians astonished Europe by trouncing mighty Austria, and four years after that Europe's collective jaw dropped again when a Prussian led German alliance crushed France, an event that led directly to the proclamation of a united Germany. For Denmark the impact was of course very different. The author argues that the country, which lost a third of its territory, was left with an acute sense of vulnerability in relation to its giant southern neighbour, which may well have contributed to the decision not to resist the Nazi invasion of 1940.
A well written history book for the general reader.

This well written and interesting book has a slightly unusual structure in that, rather than starting with the causes and beginnings of the war, it starts with the period leading up to the key battle and then goes back to fill in the background. Initially I thought I was going to find this frustrating but in the end I found that I didn't mind too much as it eventually did cover the background and early parts of the conflict. The book was definitely written for the general reader and as such focuses a lot on what the fighting was like for the soldiers involved, drawing extensively on the accounts of those who were present.

I had never heard of the Danish-Prussian war until I came across this book in the library. This centres around the 1864 Battle of Dybbol and is drawn from eyewitness accounts and letters of the soldiers and their families. In some ways, it's beautiful because you get to hear the true story from the people who were there. It's also brutal and chilling in the way that war is. I'm no looking forward to seeing the tv show that is based on this history book.

Fantastisk god og detaljeret historietime. Desværre kunne jeg bare ikke vænne mig til de forskellige stemmer, som oplæseren udstyrede personerne i bogen med og det trækker ned i min bedømmelse af oplevelsen af bogen.

Kul bok om en av danmarks viktigste historiske øyeblikk. Skrevet som en dramatisert sakprosabok, ispedd mange sitater fra soldaters brev og krigskorrespondenters artikler. Gir dessuten en god introduksjon til det europeiske politiske klima i denne perioden.
Selve stormen av Dybbøl Mølle 18. april danner både introduksjonen og avslutningen på boken, og rammer inn forklaringer om politikk, geografi, historie og militærdoktrine. Selve slaget beskrives primært som en øyenvitneskildring. Bokens ene store problem er mangelen på kart. Hvis man først benytter titalls sider til beksrivelser av troppeforflytninger rundt omkring på det som er et veldig lite område, gir det ikke mening uten kart. Selv en historieinteressert som bor i området, leser etter hvert bare tall, når man ikke har kart å støtte seg på.

Definitely recommended if you are interested in Denmark's history, where there is conflict between the Prussians and Danes along the borders. This book contains about the heart-bleeding messages - almost like a letter to family. How it was and how it looked from the Prussian and Danish perspective. In addition, this can be used as a historical source if you want to examine the different conditions from the perspective of the soldiers.

Bogens store succes er fuldt fortjent, og må stå som et formidlingsmæssigt hovedværk, om det slag der - sammen med det efterfølgende slag om Als - betød, at det danske rige mistede en tredjedel af sin befolkning og en stor del af riget, og gjorde Danmark til en småstat i både realiteten og i folkesjælen. Bogens store fortjeneste er, at den både giver et solidt indblik i de politiske realiteter i både Danmark og Prøjsen, som var årsagen til krigen, og samtidig giver et tragisk og uafrysteligt indblik i selve slaget på Dybel med al sin gru, de mange menneskeskæbner det for altid blev påvirket og følelsen af at være til stede i slaget. Formidlet medrivende.

A really well written book on the crucial battle of the Second Schleswig War, a conflict I had never heard of before. The research is first rate, the contemporary accounts of the participants harrowing. The text shows how misery and death can be caused by the stupidity, weakness and ambitions of politicians and leaders of countries.

I really wanted to like this book more than I did. I've always been interested in the Dano-Prussian War, also known as the Second Schleswig War. In 1864, Prussia and Austria went to war against Denmark over control of the duchies of Schleswig and Holstein. The war led to Denmark losing the duchies and made Otto von Bismark's career, giving him the political clout invade France in 1870 and then unifying Germany.
So it's an important war, and this book is a popular-level but detailed look at the political situation as well as the war's main battle.
Unfortunately, it misses the mark. The text is rather disorganized, jumping around from one subject to another and it appears to be the victim of bad translation. In a couple of spots the actions of the Danes and Prussians are switched. Also, there are proper names in the captions that are spelled differently than they are in the text. I'm thinking that this isn't the fault of the author, who is obviously familiar with his subject, but rather that the fault lies with the translator or copyeditor.
Other problems abound. There is no good operational map, many photos are reproduced at such a small size that they are difficult to see, and the author assumes knowledge that may be obvious to his original Danish audience, but not to outsiders.
The fact that this got glowing reviews in Danish tells me this is a good book badly mishandled by its English language publishers. That's a shame. Here's hoping that a second edition will come out that will correct these errors.

I was really afraid that this book would be superficial and would only tell me about battles. Fortunately, the book provides more than that. It provides some background as well as good discussion on foreign policy, domestic politics as well as international reaction to the war. Moreover, The writing style of the author is not dry but engaging. However, while i do appreciate that the author is trying to make the war look more real by providing accounts of the ordinary men and women who were affected by it, I felt that the book spends too much time on that. Not that I consider it a major flaw as i know some readers would prefer to look at war through the stories of ordinary soldiers, my own preference would have been to look at it through the eyes of political leaders involved as well as through ambassadors and political leaders of neutral nation. I wish that the author devoted more time seeing the war through Kaiser Wilhelm or through Franz Josef's perspective or even through the perspective of neutral Lord Palmerston, Alexander II, Napoleon III and Abraham Lincoln. Nevertheless, i would still highly recommend this book!

This was a wonderful book about an episode in history I knew nothing about. The text was enlivened by eyewitness accounts and illustrations. A tragic story but really interesting and well-described.
October 7, 2016
Really interesting book. The title is a bit of a misnomer - most of the book concentrates on the military events leading up to the battle of Dybbol. Wish the book also spent time addressing the renewal of fighting later that summer and also the final capitulation of Denmark.

I think you really had to see the TV series to be drawn to this. It is a great addition to the drama because it provides the historical and military details that add much more depth

I picked this volume up after watching the Danish series 1864, and wanting to know more about this little known, at least here in America, European war. Missing are the big sweeping campaigns of the Napoleonic wars before it, or the Franco-Prussian war after. The books, and the wars, main focus is on that bit of Jutland between the Dannevirk, and the island of Als.
The book starts out in part one with stories if the soldiers and other participants. Lots of stuff from their letters and stories to their loved ones back home. So much so, I had wondered if I had made a mistake in purchasing this book, since I was looking for an overall history of the war. Not to fear! Book two starts a more traditional telling of the war, its causes, and its outcome. The unpreparedness of the Danish military, and government for war is quite evident. The government was completely devoid of any ability to prosecute the war, which makes one questions their intent on starting it. Their Prime Minister Monrad was seriously mentally ill, and when when peace negotiations were in session, his inability to to drive any kind of reasonable statecraft meant that Denmark would suffer even more than they had to. The fact that Prussia did not want to absorb and govern Denmark was the only reason the country existed after the war. Even after Prussia absorbed the duchies of Schleswig and Holstein, years later, a large portion of Schleswig was transferred back to Denmark by a referendum.
The book is well written and the story told in an engaging manner. Definitely worth a read if you are at all interested in this war or even Danish history. As the author states, this war and its outcome did irreparable damage to the national psyche for decades after, that he said is only now starting to heal.

Borrowed this book from my local library. Although I have never seen the movie of it, I can only judge the book. The book is mostly made up of personal diaries of the ordinary soldier in the war between Denmark and the allies Prussia and Austria. The war turned out devasting for Denmark loosing large parts of their country to Prussia and Austria. The Danes were outnumbered in men and artillery by a significant margin. Furthermore the rifles used by the allies was superior to the Danes. There were some interesting moments about the decision making to make a stand or retreat. Also, there was a change with the new king finding his feet in warfare and international politics. In general I feel it was a good and solid book that shed light on a "forgotten" period in European history. For me the personal diaries was the least interesting part of the book. Mainly because war for the soldier is a time of endurance, and very high probability to get injured, invalided, or dying. I was more interested in the tactics used in the war and the political shenanigans going around to position one favourable for their country and to decide to make peace or continue the war. It was a solid book, well written. There is a passage about a mother of a solder called Ernest Schau. That she had lost all of her 6 or 7 sons. I could not verify that by a google search. The only resource I could find something about it was this book.

A good history of an obscure but important war. The book could have used a list of the maps and their pages. Also, the author consistently mixes up Moltke the Elder and Junior. He gives the Younger credit for most the Elder's great accomplishments 1864-70. The younger was only 16 in 1864, and only 22 in 1870.

Fremragende fortælling om konsekvenserne af elendige politiske beslutninger foretaget under fornuft, der kun kan betegnes som idiotisk, irrational nationalromantik. Tusindvis af uskyldige unge mænd (fra bondestanden især), hvis liv nemt kunne være blevet reddet. Forfatteren skriver levende og engagerende.

Great book about the war in 1864 war in Denmark. It gives a nive perspective and an overview of what and why things happened. It is written as a kind of story which makes it very easy to keep up with.

Imponerende og velfungerende historisk reportage. Levende historieformidling, hvor for længst afdøde stemmer pludselig kommer til orde igen. I en tid, hvor man kan have en tendens til at blive immun overfor mediernes dækning af krig og nød, (for hvordan skal man kunne udholde dagligt at lade sig påvirke dybt af de ting, som desværre foregår derude i verden?) er Buk-Swientys roman en vigtig beskrivelse af, hvordan politik og krigens dna bliver afgørende for personlige skæbner. Og i læsningens langsommelighed, og selvfølglig med historien-formidling gens distance bliver de udholdeligt at dykke ned i det uudholdelige.

Meget detaljeret. Nærmest som en slavisk gennemgang af en sportsbegivenhed. Afsnit med strategi og politik fungerer langt bedre. Også sprogligt.

Virkelig godt skrevet. Bedste beskrivelse af et historisk emne.
