1906 The Nation in Arms: A Treatise on Modern Military Systems and the Conduct of War
What Our Customers Say...
Description
In the publisher's original red cloth binding.
This volume is a scarce new edition, revised in accordance with the fifth German edition of the original 1883 text, Das Volk in Waffen.
In this treatise, von der Goltz explores the concept of the "nation in arms," advocating for the integration of military preparedness, and for "the full amalgamation of military and civilian life". He emphasizes the importance of universal conscription, the professionalization of military forces, and the strategic coordination between civilian and military sectors. Goltz argues that, ""The day of Cabinet wars is over. It is no longer the weakness of a single man, at the head of affairs, of a dominant party that is decisive, but only the exhaustion of the belligerent nations".
Wilhelm Leopold Colmar Freiherr von der Goltz (1843-1916), also known as Goltz Pasha, was a Prussian field marshal and military writer.
