註釋The period 1866?1920 saw the rise and ruin of imperial Germany, and Hans Delbr_ck (1848?1929) reported on the events of those years from a uniquely privileged position. A professor of history at the University of Berlin, editor of the Prussian Annals?the most famous journal of political commentary of his day?and a delegate to the Paris Peace Conference, he also moved among political, cultural, and military elites. Delbr_ck pioneered the techniques of modern military history, studying tactics and technology as well as the social, political, and economic context of military operations. His four-volume History of the Art of War is a classic of German and military history.øThis volume reveals the tension between Delbr_ck's patriotism and his scholarship, which helped him to recognize German military failings. The twenty-four readings, comprising letters written to his mother while he served in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870 and essays, reviews, commentaries, and speeches on military figures, historians, and events through World War I, show his talents as a historian and political commentator. Arden Bucholz's introduction and headnotes illuminate the context of Delbr_ck's life and work.
