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 Nineteenthcentury 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.Through This Long View, Citino Reveals An Essential Recurrent Patterncharacterized By Rapid Troop Movements And Surprise Attacks, Maneuvers To Outflank The Enemy, And A Determination To Annihilate The Oppositionthat Made It Possible For The Germans To Fight Armies Often Larger Than Their Own. He Highlights The Aggressiveness Of Prussian And German Commanderstrained Simply To Find The Enemy And Keep Attackingand Destroys The Myth Of Auftragstaktik ('Flexible Command'), Replacing It With The Independence Of Subordinate Commanders.
