Para Federico el Grande de Prusia, la receta de la guerra era simple: kurz und vives (breve y enérgica), —guerras que se llevaban a cabo con operaciones militares rápidas, contundentes y decisivas. Robert Citino nos acompaña en un apasionante recorrido a través de la historia militar prusiana y alemana con el objeto de mostrarnos cómo esas ideas principales se reprodujeron una y otra vez en las guerras napoleónicas, la guerra con Austria de 1866, la Guerra Franco-Prusiana y las dos guerras mundiales.

Citino se centra en la guerra a nivel operacional para demostrar un continuo en las campañas militares alemanas desde los tiempos del Gran Elector Federico Guillermo, y su extraordinaria «marcha en trineo» contra los suecos, hasta la época de Adolf Hitler y la blitzkrieg. Al mismo tiempo, destaca el papel jugado por el ejército prusiano a la hora de elevar a un pequeño y vulnerable estado al rango de potencia, temida y respetada en toda Europa. A ello contribuyeron grandes figuras intelectuales y guerreras de la talla de Schwerin, Derfflinger, Seydlitz, Scharnhorst, Gneisenau, Blücher, Clausewitz, Moltke, Schlieffen, Hindenburg, Seeckt, Guderian o Manstein.

A lo largo de sus páginas, Citino nos sumerge en el análisis de grandes batallas de la tradición germano-prusiana como Fehrbellin, Mollwitz, Hohenfriedeberg, Rossbach, Leuthen, Zorndorf, Jena, Eylau, Leipzig, Waterloo, Koniggratz, Mars-la-Tour, Saint Private, el Marne, Tannenberg, Lodz, y campañas como el Plan Blanco (Polonia), el Plan Amarillo (Francia) y la Operación Barbarroja.

Work Description

For Frederick the Great, the prescription for warfare was simple: kurz und vives (short and lively) - wars that relied upon swift, powerful, and decisive military operations. Robert Citino takes us on a dramatic march through Prussian and German military history to show how that primal theme played out time and time again. Citino focuses on operational warfare to demonstrate continuity in German military campaigns from the time of Elector Frederick Wilhelm and his great sleigh-drive against the Swedes to the age of Adolf Hitler and the blitzkrieg to the gates of Moscow. Along the way, he underscores the role played by the Prussian army in elevating a small, vulnerable state to the ranks of the European powers, describes how nineteenth-century victories over Austria and France made the German army the most respected in Europe, and reviews the lessons learned from the trenches of World War I.
