The Kaiser's Army: The Politics of Military Technology in Germany during the Machine Age, 1870-1918

Description

This volume covers a fascinating period in the history of the German army, a time in which machine guns, airplanes, and weapons of mass destruction were first developed and used. Eric Brose traces the industrial development of machinery and its application to infantry, cavalry, and artillery tactics. He examines 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.

"This is a book that deserves careful study not only for the inside view it provides of the German military, but also for its reexamination of the feudalization problem from a new perspective."--Central European History

"An interesting and detailed discussion of the German army's difficulties in adopting new technology and adapting its tactics to the new technology."-- Technology and Culture

"well-written and engaging . The book is essential reading."-- The Journal of Modern History
