Description
Imperial Germany and War, 1871-1918 by Daniel J. Hughes and Richard L. DiNardo is a comprehensive account of the German Army from its greatest victory in 1871 to its final collapse in 1918. Written by two leading authorities on the subject, this volume offers an in-depth exploration of the military system that underpinned the German Empire. The authors examine the essential components of the imperial German military system, including theory, doctrine, institutional structures, training, and the officer corps. They focus on the period between 1871 and 1918, when rapid technological development demanded significant adaptation and change in military doctrine and planning. The book provides unique insights into military theorists from Clausewitz to Moltke the Elder, Moltke the Younger, Schlichting, and Schlieffen. This study presents a picture of unprecedented scope and depth of one of the most widely studied organizations in modern history. It will prove indispensable for understanding the Imperial German Army and its role in shaping the military and political realities of late nineteenth-century Europe.
