This book examines the history of the German Army which, for the
best part of two centuries, influenced the course of events in
Continental Europe. It was an army that studied the conduct of war
at the highest levels, planning for the destruction of its
opponents during the early stages of a war. On some occasions, this
principle succeeded brilliantly. On others, its details were flawed
and the results were disastrous. This new and exciting publication
from seasoned historian and author Bryan Perrett charts the ups and
downs of the German army from the days of Frederick the Great to
the dying days of World War Two. It passes through the Napoleonic
period, takes in the growth of war machinery under the leadership
of Clausewitz and Moltke and acquaints the reader with the various
victories won against Austria in 1866 and France in 1870. It then
moves forwards into the twentieth century, following the course of
the Imperial German army, its successes and ultimate failure in the
Great War, its recovery in the inter-war years and its final
destruction under the leadership of Hitler. The book is written for
the professional and the general reader alike in the easy, readable
style that has ensured Bryan Perrett's international popularity as
a military and naval historian.
