Drawing on more than a half-century of research and teaching, Professor Dennis Showalter analyzes its place in German society, the challenges of modernization and advances in technology and tactics to tell the story of the German Army of 1914-1918 as an institution: an instrument of war."--Publisher description. 541 $d 20161216. 610 10 $a Germany $b Heer $x History $y World War, 1914-1918. 650 0 $a World War, 1914-1918 $z Germany. 651 0 $a Germany $x History, Military $y 20th century. 941 $a 2 952 $l YCPD572 $d 20230214011754.0 952 $l VKPE334 $d 20170425015914.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=61BAFB12297D11E7A3F22DCFDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
