Reviews

""All in all, this small volume... is a stimulating contribution to a topic that is supposedly ""hackneyed"" for many. One can only thank the editor and the authors for this. Brushing history against the grain is always a good way to gain new insights."" Michael Epkenhans, University of Hamburg / Center for Military History and Social Sciences of the Bundeswehr, Potsdam
