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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003ci\u003e“… a concise exploration…that stands out because of its balanced judgements.”\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e• Eberhard Kolb in Historische Zeitschrift\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003ci\u003e“… the work goes sufficiently beyond conventional parameters to encourage fresh discussion…solid use of unpublished material, combined with mastery of the secondary literature.”\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e• Dennis Showalter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003ci\u003e“Mulligan presents a detailed and nuanced account of Reinhardt’s support for the new republic.”\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e• The Historian\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \tList of Abbreviations\u003cbr\u003e \tAcknowledgements\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 1.\u003c\/strong\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 2. \u003c\/strong\u003eReinhardt in Peace and War, 1872–1918\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 3.\u003c\/strong\u003e Coming to Terms with the New Regime\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 4. \u003c\/strong\u003eSetting the Agenda on Military Policy, January–June 1919\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 5.\u003c\/strong\u003e Reinhardt and the Treaty of Versailles\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 6. \u003c\/strong\u003eThe Formation of the \u003cem\u003eReichswehrministerium\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 7.\u003c\/strong\u003e The Kapp Putsch and the Failure of Reinhardt’s Military Policy\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 8.\u003c\/strong\u003e Reinhardt and Military Politics in the 1920s\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 9.\u003c\/strong\u003e The Reinhardtskurse and Reinhardt’s Military Thought\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 10. \u003c\/strong\u003eConclusions\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \tBibliography\u003cbr\u003e \tIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Berghahn Books, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51041434894679,"sku":"9781571819086","price":89.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781571819086.jpg?v=1750950267","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-creation-of-the-modern-german-army-general-walther-reinhardt-and-the-weimar-republic-1914-1930-9781571819086","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
