Description
This book covers the history of the German army during the machine age, specifically from 1870-1918. The author, Eric Brose, traces the industrial development of machinery and its application to infantry, cavalry, and artillery tactics. He also discusses the modernity versus anti-modernity debate that raged after the Franco-Prussian war, arguing that the residue of years of resistance to technological change seriously undermined the German army during World War I.
