The Kaiser's Warlords

German Commanders of World War I
This work provides an exploration of the generals who planned, initiated and drew the course of World War I. It features famous generals such as Hindenburg whom the German passenger airship Hindenburg was named after.

The turn of the 20th century saw Imperial Germany as essentially a militarist state.

Its growing industrial resources and wealth were harnessed to the task of increasing German military power, at a time of aggressive expansionist diplomacy in competition with Britain and France. After her victories over Austria in the 1860s and France in 1870, Germany's General Staff enjoyed tremendous professional prestige throughout Europe, and was the model for all aspects of command and control.

This richly illustrated volume discusses the Imperial German army - essentially that of Prussia, Bavaria and Saxony with smaller contingents from the lesser states - and its generals, the men who planned, initiated, and to a large extent controlled the course of World War I.
