Kaiser's Army

"The Kaiser's Army describes every aspect of the German imperial army from 1914 to 1918. It covers operational concepts, doctrine and tactics, the high command, combat troops, weapons, uniforms, equipment, conditions of service, training, mobilization, discipline, and new technology, together with the seismic changes wrought upon the army by the onset of industrial warfare on an uncompromising scale. Indeed, change and the resultant pragmatism are recurring themes throughout the book." --Jacket flap.
