Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - For Frederick the Great, the prescription for warfare was simple: kurz und vives ('short and lively')wars that relied upon swift, powerful, and decisive military operations. Robert Citino takes us on a dramatic march through Prussian and German military history to show how that primal theme played out time and time again.Citino focuses on operational warfare to demonstrate continuity in German military campaigns from the time of Elector Frederick Wilhelm and his great 'sleigh-drive' against the Swedes to the age of Adolf Hitler and the blitzkrieg to the gates of Moscow. Along the way, he underscores the role played by the Prussian army in elevating a small, vulnerable state to the ranks of the European powers, describes how nineteenth-century victories over Austria and France made the German army the most respected in Europe, and reviews the lessons learned from the trenches of World War I.Through this long view, Citino reveals an essential recurrent patterncharacterized by rapid troop movements and surprise attacks, maneuvers to outflank the enemy, and a determination to annihilate the oppositionthat made it possible for the Germans to fight armies often larger than their own. He highlights the aggressiveness of Prussian and German commanderstrained simply to find the enemy and keep attackingand destroys the myth of Auftragstaktik ('flexible command'), replacing it with the independence of subordinate commanders. He also brings new interpretations to well-known operations, such as Moltke's 1866 campaign and the opening campaign in 1914, while introducing readers to less familiar but important battles like Langensalza and the Annaberg.The German way of war, as Citino shows, was fostered by the development of a widely accepted and deeply embedded military culture that supported and rewarded aggression. His book offers a fresh look at one of the most remarkable, respected, and reviled militaries of the past half millennium and marks another sterling contribution to the history of operational warfare.
