The Civil-Military Fabric of Weimar Foreign Policy

ISBN: 9780691619071 出版年：2015 页码：408 Post, Gaines Princeton University Press

In the historiographic debate over germany's responsibility for the outbreak of the two world wars, little attention has been paid to german politico- military activity in the weimar republic. Although weimar diplomats and military leaders emphasized the interconnection and developed ideas and procedures for joint planning, historians have usually treated the foreign and military affairs of the republic separately. Gaines post, jr., however, examines the relationship between foreign policy and military planning, and charts its directions and changes to develop a model of german civil-military relations which sheds light on the general problem of modern civil-military relations.
