Full Description
War in Modern German History traces the history of warfare in and relating to Germany from 1800 to the present day. Its focus lies less on war and the military in the narrower sense, than on the interdependencies between war, military, society, and culture.
Making use of a range of maps, charts and images throughout the text, Rüdiger Bergien synthesizes much of the key literature in the field as he examines the specifics of the German relationship to war and the military and the developments that have taken place in this sphere over the last two centuries. The analysis is also extended wherever possible to provide invaluable Europe-wide context.
This is a vital text for any student of modern German history and the nature of warfare in modern European history.
