This volume explores the essence of German military
professionalism as exemplified by the nineteenth century Prussian
German Staff. The study focuses on the most important Prussian
military reformer--Gerhard Johann David von Scharnhorst, who in
1801 founded the Militarische Gesellschaft (Military Society) in
Berlin. The Gesellschaft became the focal point for the
transformation of the Prussian army from a robotic war machine into
a modern fighting force that was instrumental in defeating Napolean
in 1813 and in 1815. The author examines the following elements of
this military society: its membership; the specifics of its agenda;
the intellect, imagination, and habits of thought, reflection, and
objective analysis of its members; Scharnhorst's particular
contributions.
