The author adds significantly to our social, historical and political knowledge of Germany in the early 20th century. --Germanic Notes and Reviews A long overdue analysis of an important organization. It is well written, well documented, has a valuable bibliography and an adequate index. So long as the Sonderweg controversy continues, this book belongs close at hand for reference and further contemplation. --German Studies Review Coetzee's careful study of the German Army League sheds new light on political life during the final years of the Second Empire. By carefully examining the League's social composition and regional distribution, she conributes to our understanding of nationalism's strengths and limitations as a political force. --James J. Sheehan, Stanford UniversitySolidly based on the existing literature as well as archival work primarily in West German repositories, this monograph deals with an association not previously studied in detail...it is a valuable addition to the growing literature on the growth of extra-parliamentary right-wing militarism in Germany before the First World War. --International History Review Coetzee shows that the Army League, founded in 1912, was the last in a chain of patriotic societies in pre-World War I Germany, created to combat socialism and pacifism, as well as to prepare society for what the founders of the patriotic associations felt was an inevitable armed conflict with the enemies of Germany. An original work, which does not compete with any published study. A valuable addition to a much debated period. --Istvan Deak, Columbia University
