Publisher's Synopsis
""The War of the Future: In the Light of the Lessons of the World War"" is a book written by Friedrich Von Bernhardi in 1921. The author, a German general, reflects on the lessons learned from World War I and predicts the future of warfare. He argues that war is an essential part of human nature and that it will continue to be a necessary means of resolving conflicts between nations. Bernhardi believes that future wars will be fought with even greater intensity and that technological advancements will play a significant role in determining the outcome of battles. He discusses the importance of air power, submarines, and chemical warfare, and argues that these new technologies will revolutionize the way wars are fought. The author also examines the role of politics in war and argues that a nation's political leadership must be fully committed to the war effort in order to ensure victory. He criticizes the German government for not fully embracing the war effort during World War I, which he believes contributed to Germany's defeat. Overall, ""The War of the Future"" is a thought-provoking book that offers insights into the nature of warfare and the lessons learned from World War I. It is a must-read for anyone interested in military history or the future of warfare.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
