The author shows how Prussia and later Germany built up the army from a total defeat by Napoleon I in the spirit of the Prussian reformers Clausewitz, Gneisenau and Scharnhorst and how the General Staff became one of the most powerful military organisations in the world. And he shows the structures that led to the work of these reformers lasting for over a century and a half and continuing seamlessly into the German Wehrmacht.
