-- A masterly account of the flawed brilliance of German generalship
-- The reasons for actions that have shaped world history
The German armed forces have suffered crushing defeat twice this century. Kenneth Macksey now examines the reasons behind these catastrophic military failures: the random fortunes of war, or the inevitable result of a particular structure, leadership and history?
A nation with few natural defensive boundaries, Germany developed an aggressive outlook. Its great strengths were the brilliance of individual generals and the tenacity of the fighting men. Set against this was a short-term war policy, a tendency to underestimate the enemy and believe its own propaganda, and the politicization of the military staffs. These and many other factors were to lead Germany from nineteenth-century success, and dreams of world domination, to twentieth-century defeat.
