Book is tight, square and unmarked but for a remainder mark on the textblock bottom. Book Condition: Near Fine; scant shelfwear to head and upper tips.

This book traces and analyses the development of the German soldier, and the army in which he served, during the three and a half turbulent centuries of international conflict that have so often found him on some of the most violent and testing battleground encountered by the soldiers of any nation. This is the story of the German soldier in war and peace- his motivation, his key battles and campaigns, his uniforms, weapons, and equipment, together with his army's training, organization, leadership, and lifestyle- who has had such a pronounced impact on European and world history during the past 350 years. A clean very presentable copy.
