Armchair General"Palmer has succeeded in creating an outstanding
short history of the German wars that influenced the development of
Europe and the world in the 19th and 20th centuries. It's a
terrific introduction and overview of the subject."
Bookviews by Alan Caruba"The German Wars provides both detail and
insight regarding a nation called "the Huns" by those it attacked.
Feared for its excellence on the battlefield, the irony is that it
lost both wars it initiated in the last century, but its full
history is filled with a warning for a new generation that faces
off against new potential enemies, not the least of which is Iran
these days."
Kepler's Military History Book Reviews"This is an excellent
book...It is highly readable. It would be an excellent addition to
the library of any military historian, public library, university
library as well as personal collection of persons with interest in
European or Trans-Atlantic History."
Midwest Book Review"The German Wars provides a fine survey of how a
nation came to be recognized for its military supremacy - despite
losing two world wars. Michael Palmer provides an analysis of
German military might that discusses their strategic failures, bad
assumptions, and how their method of superior warfare became
outdated. Chapters describe major battles of Germans and offer fine
strategic analysis perfect for military history holdings."
Military Heritage."..a provocative look at the methods that Germany
used to wage war, and why ultimately they failed."
