Böcker av Dennis Showalter

This edition includes an excellent bibliographical essay which surveys the latest works on Frederician Prussia and eighteenth-century warfare. Classic account of one of history's greatest leaders.

Examines the structural failures that frustrated the Germans in the war's crucial initial campaign, the invasion of Belgium. Too much routine in planning, command and execution led to groupthink, inflexibility and to an overconfident belief that nothing could go too terribly wrong.

"A major historical document, this book contains interviews with more than 150 Germans who witnessed, participated in, or resisted the rise of Adolph Hitler. The testimony comes from well-known figures"
