Introduction and Handbook of Imperial Germany
Nov 4 2009, 5:08 AM EST
Hi,We are members from San Antonio Texas. And unfortunately while we cannot join you this month for your seminar we are pleased to announce the completion of our latest book on "Handbook of Imperial Germany ". This has been met with a lot of very kind words, saying that this book had been needed for decades. I would be glad to send you a copy of the "plug "if you fill out the contact information on my website www.pickelhauben.net I am not sure how to edit pictures etc. on this. Otherwise I would post the table of contents and sample pages. I expected to be reviewed this month by both the British and American WFA. At 333 pages with 183 pictures and over 670 footnotes, this is an attempt to explain the intricacies of how the country worked -- militarily, politically, and socially. “I must say the 'Handbook' is a pretty impressive piece of work and one that has been long needed. Its approach - background, politics and then the army - works well. I thought I had a bit of a handle on 'the German Army' - I know now that this is an inaccurate title - and I now know how poor a handle I had. Full of fascinating and important facts and detail. No index sadly - big mistake. My copy, ordered Wednesday, arrived Friday. Hard, actually impossible, not to recommend the book highly. I am hoping to do a review for Stand To, something I only rarely do for books I have actually paid for!!” You can find the book on eBay. Just search the title or from the publisher for $25 http://www.authorhouse.com/BookStore/ItemDetail.aspx?bookid=60521 Do you find this valuable? |
