From the author of the acclaimed The Thirty Years War and Heart of Europe, a masterful, landmark reappraisal of German military history, and of the preconceptions about German militarism since before the rise of Prussia and the world wars. German military history is typically viewed as an inexorable march to the rise of Prussia and the two world wars, the road paved by militarism and the result a specifically German way of war. Peter Wilson challenges this narrative. Looking beyond Prussia to German-speaking Europe across the last five centuries, Wilson finds little unique or preordained in German militarism or warfighting. Iron and Blood takes as its starting point the consolidation of the Holy Roman Empire, which created new mechanisms for raising troops but also for resolving disputes diplomatically. Both the empire and the Swiss Confederation were largely defensive in orientation, while German participation in foreign wars was most often in partnership with allies. The primary aggressor in Central Europe was not Prussia but the Austrian Habsburg monarchy, yet Austria’s strength owed much to its ability to secure allies. Prussia, meanwhile, invested in militarization but maintained a part-time army well into the nineteenth century. Alongside Switzerland, which relied on traditional militia, both states exemplify the longstanding civilian element within German military power. Only after Prussia’s unexpected victory over France in 1871 did Germans and outsiders come to believe in a German gift for warfare—a special capacity for high-speed, high-intensity combat that could overcome numerical disadvantage. It took two world wars to expose the fallacy of German military genius. Yet even today, Wilson argues, Germany’s strategic position is misunderstood. The country now seen as a bastion of peace spends heavily on defense in comparison to its peers and is deeply invested in less kinetic contemporary forms of coercive power.

Whether we think of statues, plaques, street-names, practices, material or intangible forms of remembrance, the language of collective memory is everywhere, installed in the name of not only nations, or even empires, but also an international past. The essays in Sites of International Memory address the notion of a shared past, and how this idea is promulgated through sites and commemorative gestures that create or promote cultural memory of such global issues as wars, genocide, and movements of cross-national trade and commerce, as well as resistance and revolution. In doing so, this edited collection asks: Where are the sites of international memory? What are the elements of such memories of international pasts, and of internationalism? How and why have we remembered or forgotten "sites" of international memory? Which elements of these international pasts are useful in the present? Some contributors address specific sites and moments--World War II, liberation movements in India and Ethiopia, commemorations of genocide--while other pieces concentrate more on the theoretical, on the idea of cultural memory. UNESCO's presence looms large in the volume, as it is the most visible and iconic international organization devoted to creating critical heritage studies on a world stage. Formed in the aftermath of World War II, UNESCO was instrumental in promoting the idea of a "humanity" that exists beyond national, regional, or cultural borders or definitions. Since then, UNESCO's diplomatic and institutional channels have become the sites at which competing notions of international, world, and "human" communities have jostled in conjunction with politically specific understandings of cultural value and human rights. This volume has been assembled to investigate sites of international memory that commemorate a past when it was possible to imagine, identify, and invoke "international" ideas, institutions, and experiences, in diverse, historically situated contexts.

Bisher galten die Weimarer Republik und der vormalige Kolonialismus des Kaiserreichs als zwei unterschiedliche Zeitabschnitte. Der Band verbindet beides. Anhand von in der Republik hochaktiven kolonialpolitischen Verbänden fragt die Studie nach den Rückwirkungen des Kolonialismus auf die dortige Gesellschaft. Sie zeigt anhand der "Deutschen Kolonialgesellschaft" sowie des "Deutschen Ostbundes" deren weitreichende Bemühungen zur Wiedererrichtung deutscher Kolonialherrschaft in Afrika sowie Ostmitteleuropa auf. Zugleich benennt sie Ursachen für den Einflussverlust dieser Verbände.

Vom kriegerischen Herzen Europas: eine faszinierende Analyse Welchen Einfluss hatte der Militarismus auf die deutsche Geschichte der Neuzeit? Peter H. Wilson fächert in beeindruckender Weise die gesamte Militärgeschichte des deutschsprachigen Raumes der letzten fünf Jahrhunderte auf. Dabei berücksichtigt er nicht nur alle militärischen Aspekte von der Waffenentwicklung bis hin zur Kriegsstrategie, sondern auch Politik, Wirtschaft, Technologie, gesellschaftliche Entwicklungen und die Folgen der Kriege. Nuanciert und komplex: ein neuer Blick auf die Geschichte Zentraleuropas Vom römischen-deutschen Reich zum Nationalstaat: 500 Jahre Militärgeschichte Die Entwicklung der Kriegsführung an Land, zur See und in der Luft Kriege, Feldzüge, Generäle und der Militarismus: eine scharfe Analyse für Geschichtsinteressierte Vom Historiker und Autor des gefeierten Sachbuchs »Der Dreißigjährige Krieg« Wie das Militärische die deutsche Geschichte bestimmt Bismarcks berühmte »Eisen und Blut«-Rede zeigt, wie sehr der militärische Komplex ein integraler Bestandteil der deutschen Geschichte ist. Das Militär prägte ganz entscheiden die Art und Weise, wie Politik gemacht wurden – und das nicht erst seit der Entstehung des deutschen Nationalstaates. Deshalb greift die in vielen Büchern zu Militär und deutscher Geschichte gepflegte Verengung des Blicks auf Aufstieg und Fall Preußens und die Zeit von 1914 bis 1945 zu kurz. Peter H. Wilson zeigt in seinem monumentalen Werk, wie wichtig es ist, die deutsche Militärgeschichte in einen großen Zusammenhang zu stellen.
