This book is about the diplomatic activity leading up to the Franco-Prussian War. It is rather scholarly, but very readable. The author uses a wealth of primary sources in writing this book. I have read several other books on this period. However, this is the first one to really provide a nice background regarding the maneuvering of Bismarck, Napoleon III and others leading up to the war. It goes well beyond just the issue of the Succession of the Spanish throne; much more depth. There is a second volume to the author's work. 'A Duel of Nations' which deals with the period of the actual war. I suggest you read these in order; I did not.
