Fighting Power: German and U. S. Army Performance, 1939-1945

"In this study, Van Creveld analyzes the ways in which the WWII German Army developed the fighting power that allowed them to achieve a number of military victories even when outnumbered and using outdated equipment. He compares and contrasts the Germans with the U.S. Army, which developed a different style of war based on superior economic and technological resources. Coverage includes organizational elements such as principles of command, assignment of manpower, and indoctrination of troops. This is a reprint of a volume originally published in 1982." - Reference & Research Book NewsVan Crevald, Martin L. is the author of 'Fighting Power: German and U. S.
