Literaturhinweise zu diesem Werk aus externen Quellen. Wikipedia auf Englisch (14)"For Frederick the Great, the prescription for warfare was simple: kurz und vives ("short and lively") - wars that relied upon swift, powerful, and decisive military operations. Robert Citino takes us on a dramatic march through Prussian and German military history to show how that primal theme played out time and time again."--Jacket.

This concept does in fact recovers a number of other aspects, as the war of movement aims at attacking the flank or rear of the enemy, in order to keep the wars short and lively (kurz and vives), and done through Auftragstaktic, or flexible command.
Citino's analyzes highlights of the major Prussian-German wars during three centuries to demonstrate these most important aspects of the German war-making, and also shows how the Germans usually got defeated when they could not fight their wars as per this model. His writing is fluid enough considering the dry topic, and he especially pays attention to the human factor by describing in details the actual impact of specific personalities on the evolution of this art of war, starting from the Great Elector, going through Frederick the Great, Moltke, Schlieffen, and Guderian to name a few.
Recommended reading for anyone with an interest in the history of European wars. ( )
