Description: Helmuth von Moltke and the Origins of the First World War by Annika Mombauer Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Focusing on Germanys Chief of Staff 1906–1914, this book offers a fresh analysis of the origins of the First World War. It gives a fundamental re-evaluation of the circumstances leading to the outbreak of war, showing Moltke for the first time to have been a persistent advocate of war. Publisher Description This book explores the influence of Helmuth von Moltke, Germanys Chief of the General Staff between 1906 and 1914. Based largely on previously unknown primary sources, it analyses the General Staffs role in military decision-making and Moltkes relationship with Kaiser Wilhelm II, as well as the genesis of the Schlieffen Plan and Germanys military and political reactions to the many pre-war crises. Moltkes influence on Germanys political decision-making was decisive, helping to foster an increasingly confrontational mood. The book takes specific issue with the common perception of Moltke as an ineffectual and reluctant military leader, remembered primarily for the defeat at the Battle of the Marne and his alleged adulteration of the Schlieffen Plan. It concludes that he was both bellicose and ambitious, hoping for war the sooner the better and playing a crucial role in the outbreak and early months of the First World War.
