This is a short book review covering a volume that turned many European heads in 1911: Germany And The Next War, written by Germany's General von Bernhardi (1849 – 1930) "A very influential military writer in Germany declares that Germany must win her place as a world power through warfare".
The book sales in Germany were quite meager up until the first shot was fired in August of 1914, when they picked up considerably.
