Product Description
Excerpt from The General Staff and Its Problems, Vol. 1: The History of the Relations Between the High Command and the German Imperial Government as Revealed by Official Documents
What I am giving now is a series of significant documents drawn from existing originals. At the time a good deal of the negotiation was carried on by word of mouth but it was always along the same lines as are revealed in the written records.
From my sphere of activity as Director of the Concentration Section of the Great General Staff I have taken the letters which-form Chapter I. In order to show what great pains the General Staff took to build up the army of the German Empire and enable it to face the coming war in a military sense.
My object in reproducing diplomatic documents, though some of them are already known, is to bring home to every German that a peace of understanding was unattainable, and to reveal how much was kept secret from the Supreme Command by the Imperial Government.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a rare and intimate glimpse into the inner workings of the German military during the First World War. Through a collection of key documents, many previously unpublished, the author sheds light on the decision-making processes of the Supreme Command, its complex relationship with the Imperial Chancellor, and its struggles with the challenges of waging a modern war. The book delves into the pre-war efforts to build up the German army, examining the development of critical military technologies, the mobilization strategies, and the logistical complexities of supplying a massive army. The author further reveals the German government's attempts to maintain secrecy from the Supreme Command and argues that a peaceful solution to the conflict was never truly sought. He also presents a powerful and insightful analysis of the failure of the attempts at mediation by neutral nations and the attempts to shift blame for the war. This book offers a compelling and thought-provoking look at the German perspective on the First World War, challenging conventional narratives and illuminating the internal dynamics of the German military during a time of unprecedented upheaval. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
