Piercing the Fog of War

The Theory and Practice of Command in the British and German Armies, 1918-1940

Beschreibung

Anglophone and German military literature is fascinated by the Wehrmacht's command system, especially the practice of Auftragstaktik. Few descriptions consider the different approaches to command in the context of a fundamental characteristic of warfare - friction. This book seeks to address that gap.
