The Paraguayan War 1864-70

When I saw that Osprey had published THE PARAGUAYAN WAR 1864-70: THE TRIPLE ALLIANCE AT STAKE IN LA PLATA, I had to have a copy. Thanks to my Amazon Prime membership, a copy was delivered the day after I ordered it, and I am looking forward to reading it over the next few days.
