Steven Clemente describes how conservative traditions and
artistocratic values were preserved in the selection and training
of German army officers prior to World War I despite changing times
and the influx of many middle-class recruits into the army. He
demonstrates how "right thinking" and service to the King and the
Kaiser were the basis for Prussian officer education in the period
from 1860 to 1914. The history provides considerable detail about
German secondary school education, the selection of officers, the
curriculum, and life in the cadet and war schools, the life of a
subaltern, and the education of the Prussian War Academy. The book
concludes with an analysis of the attitudes and loyalties of the
officers that entered World War I. Students of European history and
military affairs will find this study one that raises a number of
provocative questions about German performance in World War I and
in subsequent years.
