Victory in the East
the rise and fall of the Imperial German Army
by Michael P. Kihntopf
"By the third year of the Great War, 1916, the German army was no longer the same organization that had started the war. More than half of the prewar aristocratic officers and two fifths of the idealistic enlisted ranks had succumbed to the many categories of casualties. Replacing them were middle-class managers and urban workers who viewed warfare as coldly as they had their business and jobs.
Yet their aloofness efficiently melded new tactics with innovative weapons to produce success after success on the Eastern Front." "This book looks at how the new concepts of management and their application contributed to the Central Powers' achievements on the Eastern Front from 1916 to 1918. It also explores the disunity caused by distrust and catastrophic shortages of armaments that the Entente and its allies suffered in this area."--BOOK JACKET.
