About the Book

Civil-military relations have been a consistent theme of the history of the Weimar Republic. This study focuses on the career of General Walther Reinhardt, the last Prussian Minister of War and the First Head of the Army Command in the Weimar Republic. Though less well known than his great rival, Hans von Seeckt, Reinhardt's role in forming the young Reichswehr and his writings on warfare made him one of the most important and influential military figures in interwar Germany. Contrary to the conventional view that civil-military relations were fraught from the outset, the author argues, Reinhardt's contribution to the military politics of the Weimar Republic shows that opportunities for reform and co-operation with civilian leaders existed. However, although he is primarily seen as a liberal General, this study demonstrates that he was motivated by professional military considerations and by the specter of a future war. His ideas on modern warfare were amongst the most radical of the time.

Review :
"... the work goes sufficiently beyond conventional parameters to encourage fresh discussion ... solid use of unpublished material, combined with mastery of the secondary literature." Dennis Showalter "This is a scholarly, original piece of work, which uses an impressive amount of archival material to shed light on an important individual too often largely ignored in the literature." Chris Clark, University of Cambridge
