KRIEGFUHRUNG UND POLITIK
by Erich Ludendorff

Literally "Belligerence and Politics". In the First World War Ludendorff was the 'brains' of the Hindenburg-Ludendorff team, the architect of the great victories on the Eastern Front in 1914, the man who by 1916 was making personnel, economic and foreign policy decisions in place of the feckless kaiser. He determined the strategy on the Western Front that staked all on the massive offensive of the spring of 1918. Following its disastrous failure he managed to divest himself of responsibility.

THE MAKING OF THE BRITISH ARMY
by Allan Mallinson

From the English Civil War to today's War on Terror: in this sweeping account of nearly 500 years of military history, the author looks at how the Army's dramatic past has made it one of the most effective fighting forces in the world today. He shows us how Marlborough's momentous victory at Blenheim is linked to Wellington's at Waterloo; how the desperate fight at Rorke's Drift in 1879 underpinned the heroism of the airborne forces in Arnhem in 1944; and why Montgomery's momentous victory at El Alamein mattered long after the Second World War was over.
