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.
