The Kaiser's Army: The Politics of Military Technology in Germany During the Machine Age, 1870-1918
ISBN: 9780195179453 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This volume covers a fascinating period in the history of the German army, a time in which machine guns, airplanes, and weapons of mass destruction were first developed and used. Eric Brose traces the industrial development of machinery and its application to infantry, cavalry, and artillery tactics.

German History 1789-1871: From the Holy Roman Empire to the Bismarckian Reich
ISBN: 9781800735439 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 388 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. During recent years, there has been a noticeable increase in interest in the nineteenth century, resulting in many fine monographs.

This book overcomes these divisions, offering a wide-ranging account of this revolutionary century and skillfully combining narrative with analysis. Its lively style makes it very accessible and ideal for all students of nineteenth-century Germany.

His was a powerful flotilla, but not powerful enough to remain in Asia, where the ships of Britain, France, Russia, and Japan could destroy him. If Graf Spee fled the Far East, however, attractive options beckoned. By sailing into the heart of the British Empire surrounding the Indian Ocean he could disrupt commerce and troop movements and perhaps spark rebellion in India. But if he sailed east across the Pacific and into the Atlantic, all the way around the world...
